Looks like a Mullein Moth to me. See:

OK, proir to some thinking and what a few people said, this Orange-Tip larvae hatching out would be better. I spent 4 hours in this area and looked around and this I found really hard to get, one of the most difficult yet. The wind was blowing the cuckoo flowers about too:
Next year, I hope for a better shot of this and the larvae.

Here's a lonely Scotch argus egg, set against the mountains. I know the species only because I saw the egg being laid.

I don't have any immature butterflies either. Here's a cinnabar larva on ragwort.

Sorry Chris. I think a talking butterfly is an extremely
advanced stage and so I move that your profane chequered skipper be disqualified!
It's a jolly good picture though!
