This is the Virgin Tiger Moth. I was struck by its beautiful pattern, which reminded me of stained glass windows.
I wish I had known enough to spread this one's wings to see the beautiful red under-wings that I read about later! They range from yellow to orange to red with black spots - hence the "tiger" in the name.
This one had been caught in a spider web and so was not in the best of shape when photographed, poor thing!
