I first noticed this one morning on perched on the parasol in the garden. I think it's totally magnificent, and should really be called the 'snow leopard moth'.
They are quite widespread across Europe, North Africa and Asia and have been introduced in North America.
The caterpillar spends 2-3 years feeding on the wood of deciduous trees and then emerges from under the bark to pupate.
