Moth ID please
« on: June 13, 2009, 21:18:42 »
I saw this beautiful moth in my garden today.  Unfortunately it was on the underside of a Raspberry leaf and as it was breezy the photo isn't very good.  I'm thinking it might be an Argent and Sable but nowhere I've looked mentions the yellow thorax.  Any ideas please?
