Brilliant!
Thank you both.
What I was looking for was a sort of easy to... insect recognition
guide.... a bit like one of those tree identification books that start
of with, say, Is the leaf round or oval.?.. etc.
What I did was put "pink butterfly" into a search engine, and no doubt
you wont be toooo surprised that I got heaps of pages that had nowt to
do with butterflies (or moths)

wow, ta.
Has anyone got a general id finder. I'm now in Belgium and regularly
see creatures I'm at a complete loss to identify.
