We were in South West Ireland at the start of June and were unable to identify a sighting on a rocky hillside.
We have no picture but the upperwings were vivid orange with no other markings and the underside of the wings pale yellow and veined. Any ideas?

Clouded Yellow maybe?

This must be the longest wait ever for a reply on this website.

... and I still don't know what it might have been. Clouded yellow is an interesting guess, but the veins don't really fit.

No, I must have been half asleep when I wrote that. What's the underside of an Orange Moth like, does anyone know?
If all else fails we can say it was Green-veined White that got caught in a paintball fight between Prince Harry and the County Kerry Pantymime Horse.
