          Just upload it to Imgur and post the URL. So much easier and quicker.

                      I think ruby tiger moth as well, though with deformed wings.

                        Thank you self contained and jungle Jane.
                        would have thanked you much sooner, but couldn’t get on.
                        it is beautiful isn’t it. I’ve never seen one before either.

                          That's a Moth just crawled out of it's cacoon and has not pumped fluid into the wings to expand them, I'd go Tiger Moth as well.

                            Thank you Burnie
                            spot on!,,
                            i didn’t know about them needing to pump up their wings,
                            i must’ve disturbed his cocoon as I was weeding.
