Hello, my name is Aiperi. I'm from Central Asia. Recently my mother passed away and after her death I noticed night moth beside her bed. She used to say that dead people's souls remain in such moths and come to visit their close ones. I know it sounds stupid, but I took a picture of it and tried to identify it. Image search identified it as Silver Y, but it has some differences (red head, different structure of wings etc). I hope professional entomologists will be more capable of correct identification.

It is Autographa gamma (Silvery Y). The red thing it is thorax not head. the scales like hair are removed and the exoskeleton is exposed. the species is variable so the pattern and colours may very slightly.
The moth was lured to the light.
