Lovely treat to have this stunner this morning. Pretty big - at least 5-6 cm if not more.
I think it MIGHT be a Garden Tiger Moth but if anyone has more of a definite ID that would be great!Just love the stunning clothes and the big fuzzy head!

It's Freddie Mercury's dressing gown, and you're just playing tricks with the scale.

He's a garden tiger moth who fly around July/ August. I don't think we see many off them these days

Cruella Deville will have that if she's passing your way.  Kids liked that one too, thanks.

Definitely a he, you can tell by the feathery antennae (for picking up the scent of a female  )

He's just gorgeous, never seen one here before in the 5 years Ive been here. Chuffed!

Even though I have a moth phobia (thanks to the pranks of my lovely brothers as children) I can actually admire the beauty of this incredible chap.  Although I'm not so sure I would cope with him on my front door!!

Don't worry LL i have a full on Daddy long legs or crane fly phobia, hate them with a passion. got one caught in my hair when i was a kid and it fell to bits legs everywhere, total traumatisation everyone says "they wont hurt you" but that don't wash when you have a phobia of them.
Love moths though, and would dearly like to see one of these in the flesh
