Hi all, can anybody identify this, which I have only ever seen twice!

Hi Patrolling,

Welcome to the forum.

This is the Jersey Tiger moth, Euplagia quadripunctaria.

A nice find ...

Kind regards. Mark

It's a Jersey Tiger Moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria). It'd be interesting to know where you saw it. There is, apparently, a population in London.

Thats great - thanks!

Both sightings have been on the Isle of Wight

Was it known that they lived here?

Ooops, just read the link, so it was already known!

Managed to find another one of these on my lawn today, ended up picking it up and holding it right up to my eyes and had a good look!
