| | | odd moth for ID
This just flew in when i came back from taking the dog out
apologies for the xexexexe shots - I cant find my flash gun plus its in a drinking glass which is difficult to shoot through  
any idea what it is ? (size wise its quite big - probably the same sort of size as a speckeled wood butterfly )

I think it's a Jersey Tiger, have a look on UK Moths.

Definitely Jersey Tiger - I have them in my garden every year, where they occasionally fly in daylight, too. |

Where are they common? I think I've only ever seen one here, and it looked to be in really bad shape. |

They are listed as Nationally Scarce B and are a suspected immigrant. They are only recorded on the south coast of the UK, mainly in the south west. |

Cool looking feller. Are tiger moths rare in general? In my whole life I've only ever seen one (garden tiger I think) and that was many years ago as a child. |
