Thanks for the positive comments ladies.
It was a very enjoyable spotting and appropriate for Christmas once I discovered its name.
Came back to view again! One of the best looking moths I have ever seen! Your new pet! (I still wish I could touch the insects I take photos of. Just maybe a caterpillar for me. HA)
Wish I had this yesterday on Christmas Day! HA! Great moth and great photos!
Yep I think you've got it martinl. Thanks so much. I wasted too much time on this one.
