Daytime Moth?!

Saw this on a blade of grass yesterday evening, so took some snaps before it got dark and it flew off into the night! Not sure what it is though?

Straight out of camera

I think you'll find its a Cinnabar moth.

We disturbed a few locally when out for a walk last weekend. Their open wings are almost scarlet in colour.

Nice shot too
