Fantastic Day Flying Moth - The Forester (Adscita statices)

I went to Mount Caburn, an East Sussex NNR yesterday looking for Burnt Orchids. I didn't find any but did find this marvellous moth. It's quite rare although widespread across the South. I've never seen one before and to get a good photo first time of asking is a bonus.
If you go there, be prepared for a several 100m climb! Although it's just a big hill, it's not called Mount for nothing!
