Found this little beauty on my window pane this morning.

A Spotted Tussock Moth, I think. A lovely colour, like a coffee with cream just before it mixes.

Here are some male Promethea moths! I had like 5 of them all hatch at once and none of them would sit still for photos, so this is the best I could do before I gave up and let them go, haha.
