I don't know his ID and want to know very much.
When I went out from my flat I saw giant moth on the wall of the building. It had folded wings. I took few shots then moved him. When the moth was flying then moth was like small bat. I've never seen such giant moth and thought that here such giants cann't be.

Hello Pawel,
You're lucky to have seen this beautiful Moth, Catocala fraxini. I love the pattern of its wings and the beautiful blue strip on the underwing. Excellent capture showing it nicely camouflaged against the rock face. Great sharpness and lovely colours in this fine composition.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hi Pawel.
It is really rare meeting and nice shot. I have met only once so giant moth but other species. Superb reproduction of all its charming features. I like crisp sharpness of the moth image and nice reflection of so proper for it surroundings. My best wishes and kind regards.
Alexei.
