Can't help with the ID, but I love that first shot. Looks like a cat that's been run over. lol

Excellent shots- interesting moth.
Think it's a white ermine (Spilosoma lubricipedia) which is according to the book is very variable in spottiness.

once again brian thanks for the id your a mine of information. thanks for the reply photo thank god it wasnt the size of a cat..lol

Hiya Philbyuk,
That's a nice couple of shots, looks like my misses crawling home from the pub on all 6's but don't tell her I said so 'cause she's T Total lol.
That books very good !!!
Cheers for now

mmmm i think i met her or a close relative when i was in devon last year.lol

That first one is hilarious. So hairy...

Oooooo....fuzzy!
I like the first one better with the monochrome background. Great captures!

I want one!! Nice shots. The last is my favourite.

ill see if i can find any 'head on' shots but they'll probably look like a ball of wool if anyone wants me too

Did you note the tail colour for this moth, It looks likely to be either;

yellow tail moth http://www.plantpress.​com …e/o294-yellowtailmoth.php

or brown tail moth http://www.vvenv.co.uk …trol/brown-tail-moth.html

Wow, very nice moth.

thanks for the id triumph must agree with you looks very much like the yellow tailed moth

beautiful shot, very well taken.
The white came out very nicely.
