Rummaging through my slides I came across these 2 photos taken in my back garden on the Isle of Wight a while back.
An ID would be welcome please.

A-ha, finally a moth ID which I can answer with certainty!
The beast is Jersey Tiger Euplagia quadripunctaria.
Cheers,
Gibster.

Beat me to it Seth. One I knew as well. I photographed one on Ballard Down this year.

Yeah but you'll have Mountain Ringlet on DVD soon. Not trying to rub it in at all.
I'm going again for them next year. Try and find some freshly emerged examples.
