Hi all. I'm new to this and newish to butterflies. Please can someone tell me what this is? Excuse bad photo, batteries flat so had to use phone. Thanks.

Hi Justyou,

You have a magpie moth there. You'll find a bit more information about it on the UK Moths site:

Hope you get the bug and stay with us,

Thanks, I only saw it briefly and assummed it was a butterfly. Saw it near Minions on Bodmin Moor in Cronwall. Di.
