Re: pink butterfly??

I too have seen this elusive bug(ger) over the past few days walking my dog near St. Albans. I'd be surprised if it was a cinnabar moth or a burnet's moth, neither seem to encapsulate what i've seen, although to be fair i've not seen those two in flight. The wings seem to be more like the burnet's but the cerise is quite stunning, closer to the cinnabar's colourings and there seems to be no black markings on the wing. Hopefully tomorrow I shall have a live one to share with you all...
