What's this please?
 

Hello,
Last time I posted an image, it was sorted in less than an hour!
Just found this moth, almost 3 inches across and wondered if anyone knows
what sort it is.

Ive got several inert ones - if you fancy ... They keep throwing
themselves to my litghs in the evenings. I've made a sculpture of them
at the entrance to my house - warning to all others throwing themselves
at me :o)
