Seems to be my time for moths... I've narrowed this one down to far too many, hence posting (I do check my field guide, honest!)   |

Hi Words,
Do you have any of the top side? You can narrow it down to an underwing, rustic or a few other things, but to get further could you describe any markings on the back?
I love the angles, especially the head-on; it's as if he's looking right at you!! |

Nice shots. Unfortunately you have left out the most important one - the dorsal view - looking down on the wings from directly above. It's a Noctuidae moth though.
Cheers,
Adam

I'd say it was a Square spot rustic, he's had a thumping good time though! 
Judging by the state of him!!

Nope, it's not a Square-spot Rustic. They don't have stripey legs like that and have a line of dark dots about two-thirds away along the wing. The wings are also the wrong shape.
It's too worn for me to say what it is for sure though.
Cheers,
Adam
