@asrai @sparkle I agree with Lee and Juliette, looks like the Yellow Shell Moth(Camptogramma bilineata). Lots of crepuscular moths will be active on overcast days, it's in great shape so it could have just recently eclosed and sought out a first meal of nectar. Cheers!

@asrai @sparkle @altadc @robv Thank you all very much! When I looked at the images for this moth it was amazing how many variations there are......I'm really pleased to know what it was. Thanks again! :-)
