Took this photo today at the Osprey Project site in Wales. Very inconsiderate of it to refuse to turn round so I could see the full colouring. Any help much appreciated.

Bit difficult from the underside but it is a moth. Maybe one of the regular trappers here will recognise from this angle. I'm sure this would be easy from an above shot, but appreciate insects often don't co-operate!

It is a Wood Tiger :-). Going searching several sites for them in North Yorks today. Quite a scarce moth around here.

Thanks for that dogghound. Having checked some images on Google It looks to be a good sighting and somewhat rare.
Cheers
