Male vapourer moth (Rusty Tussock moth, Orgyia antiqua)

[Paul Iddon]

Wonderful features - the males fly by day but are often also attracted to light at night. Sometimes called 'Rusty Tussocks', the male vapourer moths are a rich brown colour with two distinctive eye spots - one on each forewing.

More great detail from you Paul, and as Steve said, a little lesson thrown in for good measure.
