Thank you both, I know its not as 'flash' as some of the moths but as for the names, they are truely amazing. So a bit of trivia:
As with most moths the Victorians, whom were very interested in nature and I suspect in claiming some discoveries for themselves, named most of the moths we see in the UK today. There are some great names like Footman, Daggers, Spectacle, and Wainscot. The latter being called after the common wainscot panelling, which was used to make stone walls and rooms more comfortable, because of the lines (veins) running in lines down the wing.
