Me, me! I know this one... (I used to research on micromoths at the University). It is a microlepidoptera from the Pterophoridae family.Afternoon folks, found this little bug chilling out on my lampshade, just wondered if anyone knows what it is.

Scarlet Tiger, one of the few moths that has done well over the last 20 years.Currently my fave moth,we get these ever year.
I think it is the males looking for females, we had loads in the garden and they had a mad half hour every evening where they flew around in a big swirling mass. Judging by the colours I assume they are fairly toxic and don't worry about birds etc.The Scarlet Tiger flies during daylight too, which help to spot it.
It is definitely a "Beautiful Plume Moth" <"Beautiful Plume Amblyptilia acanthadactyla | UKmoths">.found this little bug chilling out on my lampshade, just wondered if anyone knows what it is.
