White Ermine Moth

White Ermine Moth

I found this beautiful moth on my net curtains yesterday. I have been leaving my windows open and the light blazing, I have had a wonderful selection of moths coming in and letting me take their picture LOL.Taken in Havant, Hampshire

Wingspan 34-48 mm.
Widely distributed and fairly common over much of Britain, there is considerable variation in the degree of black speckling, and in certain parts of Scotland, there are forms with a buffish ground colour.
It generally flies from May to July, sometimes later in the south.
The hairy larvae feed on a variety of herbaceous plants.
