I put her on a nice stone wall this morning hoping some males would be attracted. (I once had success with this and the moth laid a lot of eggs which hatched in a home-made larvarium). This evening she was in the same spot and all alone, so I snapped her in the late sunlight.

I've just stubled upon your blog whilst searching for ID for a flower we'd found. It's a great find, but the spider on the banner did make me shudder a bit (a touch of arachnaphobia, much as I wish I hadn't!), so I think this magnificent moth would be an excellent replacement...
