At first I thought this was a butterfly because it was flying in the sunshine, basking with its wings open and would often settle with them raised up over its body. Almost all moths fold their wings down along their bodies when at rest. However, this is a moth and its latticed grid-pattern of brown markings on both the upperside and underside of the wings indicate that it is a ‘Latticed Heath’. These attractive moths are widely distributed over grassy heathland, moorland and waste ground.
