As a teenager I regularly found Magpie Moths + their larvae (usually on Gooseberry) in my parent's London garden, but haven't seen one down here for ages.
Last week I saw many of these moths on a day on the west side of Scotland- good to see them again! |

I have a photo of a moth that is quite similiar to this. I wonder if anyone can id it without a photograph. Its the same colours as this one, mainly white with black markings. Yellow head, 'shoulders' upper-body & tail. (same yellow as the magpie) The rest of the body is black with yellow/white bands. I came across it in Cornwall, on the wall of the ladies room!
thanks, Ashe |

I am just being lazy really. Trying to save myself the trouble of uploading! Never mind! I shall upload the image now and start a new thread in the Moth forum.
