Looks like a cinnebar moth - one of the day-flying moths.  It's larvae like ragwort.

I dont have any ragwort but I do have these moths so they obviously feed on other plants too.

They like my Poly tunnel, not sure what they are looking for as we haven't come across caterpillars

They like groundsel too, and everyone must have that!
