hello other insectsforum,

I am wondering what kind of status this Drepanepteryx phalaenoides got in the Netherlands:

1) very common
2) quite common
3) rare
4) very rare

I have never seen these insect before, so I have no idea of it.

For picture and place:

This species is pretty common here in Moscow region (late summer/autumn).
