Pale Tussock Moth

Looking up my ref book it has similarities to a Garden Carpet (Xanthorhoe Fluctuata), I would be happy to stand corrected though.

Thanks Maurice, I have had a rummage through the internet it's the hairy head that's thrown me, but I do tend to agree with you

A pretty moth, excellent detail Roger.

Very kind Dave, Thank you.

Terrific detail in the enlarged view Roger.

Thank you Maurice no other ID as yet.

Excelent. I really like this.

Thank you Smiley, just wish we knew what it is.

Like the textures and the moth very much. Very well seen and captured, Roger !

A beautiful moth! Great wing design, fantastic details!

Very generous Rainer many thanks.

Great capture !! I am sure someone will find the name of this moth, Roger !!

Very much appreciated Marie-claire, thank you.
No positive ID as yet.

As with most of the comments, I am not up on my moths but this is a terrific shot. Obviously a sun loving moth!

Thank you Rosa, must confess to never really taken much notice of moths until recently.

Waouh il a mis son habit du dimanche Roger, il est magnifique !

Lovely comments Jocelyne, many thanks.

Very much appreciated Adam, Many thanks.

Hi Roger; had a look through a guide, looks to be similar to one of the 'Kitten' moths, could be a Sallow or Poplar Kitten. Markings on the Poplar look closer to me.

Thank you for taking the time to look Roger, but it looks as though Keith has nailed it as a Pale Tussock Moth

I think you have a Pale Tussock Moth Roger: butterfly-conservation.org/1034-12974/pale-tussock.html Check it out and see what you think.

A cracking close up shot mate!

Many thanks for the comments and the ID looks spot on to me, Nice one Keith.

A superb capture Roger and many thanks for posting to Fur, Fin and Feather.
I like some of the others have had a look in my book and googled it but can't find what it is !!

Thanks for the comments and for trying to ID the moth but Keith has tracked it down as a Pale Tussock Moth

An excellent close-up shot Roger, Lovely detail. It has attractive markings

Very much appreciate, an unusual visitor indeed.

On dirait qu'il est en velours….belle capture !

Thank you Danielle, really appreciated.

so rare

Thank you Mario, attractive little thing.

A great close up.

Thank you George, it stayed quite still for me.

Belle prise de vue avec de remarquables détails ++++++
Bonne soiree.

Kind words Mailik Thank you.

Hope that it was alright ...
Some tits aren't at the moment. Lately two of them seemed exhausted. One of them slept a long time in a manger near the kitchen door, then flied away. The second one was sleeping ... in the grass ! at the foot of a manger. Took her a moment in the kitchen, then put it in the manger. She slept there a long time too and disappeared. But I found her died this morning at the door of the kitchen (:o((. Wonder what is happening to them. Are they coming from far away or just suffering of the too hot weather... ?
And this afternoon I had to take a young sparrow which was prisoner in the garage ...

That is sad Christiane, exhaustion from feeding young perhaps, no fear of overheating in this part of the world we have experienced heavy and prolonged thunder storms for the past few days and still more promised for the next two,

Une image diffèrente. Fèlicitations !!!

Thank you Michelle very much appreciated.
