Thanks, Nuwan! I do not know if there are any other white ones than Pterophorus sp.
Pterophoridae is a huge group of moth. All are quite tricky to ID. I am a little bit sceptic about the genus and species. Emmelina monodactyla looks in my eyes more brownish than "complitely" white. Like this one, Pterophorus pentadactylus: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pipsissiwa/6032272795/ http://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/white-plume-moth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterophorus_pentadactyla http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Schlehenfedergeistchen_20050621.jpg Pterophorus_pentadactyla is probably also wrong. Personally I would not dare to even guess a genus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plume_moth
