I think it's Black-veined Moth Siona lineata?

Thanks for the correction Andy, looks much more like it although all the pictures have the wings open, mine always settled with the wings flat and closed. But I am sure you are right. Gareth

They often settle upside down underneath the leaves so think yourself lucky!

It was in the blazing sun and busy feeding. I forget his name now but I knew a guy who was into photographing insects in a big way. He used to carry with him a small mirror, to photograph insects on the under-side of leaves and also "arty" pictures of mushrooms and toadstools
