Unfortunately this the only photo I have of this one. Gorgeous I agree but still no ID!

What a fantastic moth - The antennae add to the drama !! Do you have a shot of the whole moth - it's a pity the legs are cut-off. You must be so pleased with this spotting...

Looks like the rear end of a Spanish galleon. Excellent.
