Saw this moth in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and have offered a top and bottom view. Please can anyone identify it for me please as it does not show in my book (a rubbish book).

My little book suggests it's some sort of Ermine, but both White Ermine and Muslin have differennt abdominal patterns and/or colouration.

Sorry, not that much help... Anyone else???

I'm pretty sure its a White Ermin (Spilosoma lubricipeda)

That is a neat looking moth Andrew. Glad you got a name for it.
