Orange Underwing?
Whilst walking through a local wood in bright sunshine a small "butterfly" flew towards me and landed in the grass by the track I was on. I only got three rubbish shots before it was flushed by a Peacock. The only insect I can imagine it is is an Orange Underwing moth.Any help with the I/D will be most welcome.

No problem. You lucky so and so, I've never seen one on the ground, they're always flying about at the top of Birches!

Hi Jonny and Sean
You were spot on with the I/D. I got some better shots today. |
