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

The moth, correctly identified as the Black Arches (Lymantria monacha)[/caption]
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.

I think this is a Black Arches moth (Lymantria monacha)
It is the Lymantria monacha or commonly called Black Arches.
Well I had to look it up, but I think the answer is Black Arches Lymantria monacha. It’s natural habitat is woodland in the south east so that seems to fit.
I think this moth is a Panthea coenobita
looks like black arches (Lymantria monacha). is that right?
