Saw 2 at Tout Quarry today as well, but not seen the pictures yet...one will probably be pants as was several metres away and I had smaller lens on, but one should be good because it landed not far in front of me, fingers crossed!
Thank you mine was just like that.

Found this little fella running(!) along my path last night, bug app says it is will become a Ruby Tiger Moth, not that I have ever seen one.

Looked on google, that would be a very nice looking moth Trev.

Hopefully we get to see it once it transforms into a moth.
BTW Snappy, like your avatar, it reminds me of a robin we fed some years ago, tame little thing, we aptly named it scruffy.

Yes it is (for once the search engine was right!)- its a really variable moth just to cause confusion
