Unique Wings - _TNY_7318
The lilac beauty (Apeira syringaria) is a moth in the thorn family which is quite easy to identify when resting due to the unique way they hold their forewings raised and the distinct fold in the front margin of said wings (the latter not showing particularly well from this angle).
The impressive antennae also reveals this to be a male.
