Jakubko, I guess it's safe to place it in the subfamily Apatelodinae.
Jacob Gorneau
:-( Hmm, it definitely looks like an Apatelodinae, especially considering the wing position, which is similar to the Angel Moth, Olceclostera angelica, in the Northeast United States.

Jakubko, I just looked through all the pictures of Apatelodinae on Bold and didn't see one with those brown crescents:-(
Jacob Gorneau
I would confidently say Olceclostera if it weren't for that brown crescent-shaped marking.
