You are very kind Leuba. I am only able to identify them because I have no life to take up the rest of my time. ;-P

That is a beauty Stephen. You've captured the colours so well. I found two of these over the week but my photos are desperately lacking in colour- I also, had difficulty identifying this moth. Good job !
