Beautiful Moth

[Polly]

Any ideas what these lovely day-flying moths might be? Liz? Their under-wings are a very vivid pink, awesome!

I've seen them but have no idea what they are called.

very colourful though

Liz will know, but she will be 3RR busy.

That moth is a Cinnabar. They are sometimes confused with the seven types of Burnet. Actually they are not alike except that they are the same colour.

I have a large Hebe in the garden, this morning there must have been a dozen Painted Ladies mixed with a couple of Tortoishells, not seen ant Painted Ladies for a couple of seasons.
