However today I received my regular email from Somerset Wildlife Trust giving me a selection of recent photos of nature subjects. One in particular caught my attention and the URL below is a link to the SWT Flickr account. Its shows a moth but taken from an unusual angle which made me doubt the identification until I had worked out what I was seeing.

For comparison I have added my own view of the moth seen flying during the day in our very small wildlife garden. Looks a bit worn !
Jersey Tiger Euplagia quadripunctaria.
And here is another link to the SWT collection showing a better looking specimen:
