I found this member of the Lepidoptera - (Hepialidae?) family,
but I was not able to identify it (see attachement) in common ragwort(Senecio jacoba)
in northern Germany in summer.
I will as well post a picture of its traces.

acherontia

Looks more like Apamea spec. (probably monoglypha).

Thanks for your help...
but I thought the species you guesst is mostly feeding on grass...
- the caterpillar I found was in ragwort (Senecio jacoba)
