Scarlet Tiger Moth

Now I'm no expert on moths and butterflies, so thank you Google for a little help, if I'm wrong just say. I came out from my football clubs reception and this beautiful moth flew by with bright scarlet under wings. It landed close by so just had to get the camera out. It was a one handed job as it was so windy I had to hold the top of the grass steady.

My late Grandma always used moth balls in her clothing drawers, what I can't understand is how she used to catch them and harvest the balls. :-)
so sharp
