Plume Moth - Pterophorus pentadactyla !

This unusual moth was sitting on my outside wall warming himself!

There are 2 types of Plume moth this one with brownish scales and another which is white and is the prettier of the two!
Best in original!

Oh so that is what they are called. I always think they look like old aeroplanes. I hope you feel better soon.
