Saw this cool moth this morning.
Looks exactly like this :

which is an estgmene apparently, but wikipedia says they're native to North America. Anyone know what it is?

Wow looks like something a funk guitarist would wear on stage in 1976, complete with blonde wig.
The Parliament Moth? |

Yeah that's more like it, cheers. Never seen one like that before.
I think the chit-chat moth would be all white with skinhead. |

White Ermine it is but you may wish to know that there is also a Burnet moth. They are black and red and are day flying on downland.

They are very common, you see their caterpillar, also brightly coloured to signal danger as they are nasty to eat, all over ragwort in the summer.
