I saw this in my garden today - it hung around most of the morning. I live in north west England (Cumbria to be exact)



Can anyone please tell me what it is? Because it doesn't look real to me! The pink spots are almost luminous (not unlike dynorod vans colouring) Is it maybe a moth?

Hi Squishy,

This is a Cinnabar (its a type of moth)

Cheers

Mark

Thank you! Oh my goodness - so common, and a moth too! Yet so incredibly pretty.

Ah well thanks again
