One of the typical, autumnal moths. You can find it in parks, gardens, mixed forest in October or even November. It's quite large moth - the maximum wingspan is 46 mm.
The large antennae is typical for the males. It helps to find the females.

The caterpilars feeds on different trees like Oak, Willow, Birch or Lime in Summer (V-VII).

Pleasantly naturalistic presentation of that geometrid on oak leaf. Slightly soft appearance of moth in this web presentation might finally be treated by a little postwork.

Photoshop Elements
1) sharpening filter - all over (without border)
2) contrast + 6

Hope you enjoy.
