It's a Blood-vein (Timandra Comae), a good find, common nationally but I haven't yet seen one around here. 

Anyone interested in moths locally could try contacting Woodberry Wetlands who have an enthusiastic moth group. Soon to be featured on the Countryfile urban wild-spaces feature along with Parkland Walk, etc.

Here's an Elephant Hawkmoth from Woodberry this morning:-

Thanks Chris! I actually found it in the kitchen.

The tigermoth is stunning.

This bedraggled moth came to die on my patio table tonight. Whatever it is, it was impressive.

Here's what it would have looked like when it was even more impressive: Red Admiral Butterfly
