A superb image of this moth, Stanley. Great wing pattern and colours. Is it the same species as the one you posted yesterday?

I love moths and butterflies, but the later are dwindling at too rapid a pace!!! Love this one Stanley!! I have one in my collection that looks identical to this Geometer moth except mine is has no markings on it!!!
