Very nice, attractive moth from Lasiocampidae. Although it's quite common I can see it only few times. Here you can find my previous picture of these species.
Resting imago looks like a dry leaves so it's not easy to find it in nature. Much easier is attract moths to the light.

More info about the species you can find here.

I hope you'll like this picture.
