dear moth identification people

Saw this moth outside recently. Would anyone be able to identify it? It was very silly and stayed in the same spot for a while before flying away and i am very curious as to what species it is

hi!! we had this pretty little thing in our living room and would love to know what it is! (in germany if that helps)

Thanks for the ask! Looks like a box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis), which is actually not native to Germany, but it is native in Eastern Asia. It's called a box tree moth because the caterpillars eat boxwoods, plants in the genus Buxus. There are two morphs: the lighter, common one and a rarer melanistic one.
