Silver Y moth
Wingspan 42mm. body about 26mm?
Very common throughout UK (one Essex entomologist recorded 7,398 of 'em in one night!)
Seen during the day most often. A regular migrant from the continent.
Hummingbird Hawk moths are a tad bigger and don't tend to "rest" like that. they also are very distinctive in both appearance (orange hind wings very visible) and in behaviour!
