This moth was spotted resting on a pair of boots on one of our Fundamental Bushcraft courses earlier this month. Can anyone identify it?

As many of you have pointed out, this moth is in fact the Black Arches moth (Lymantria monacha). Siegfried was the first to answer correctly, winning a £10.00 voucher, but well done to everyone who got it right.

That looks like a Black Arches – a beautiful moth indeed.
Looks like Black Arches (Lymantria Monacha)
Yet to have one visit one of my tilley lamps. Well done as its a stunning looking moth.
Lymantria monacha – black arches moth
Not sure if this is right. The wing colour and pattern seem similar but the antennae look different.
My guess anyway
