Final Instar. This is the update as promised to this photo , we found this guy feeding on Apple in the meadow before mothing. He is quite lovely now that he filled out a bit.

We found this guy by doing a bit of beating, where you tap branches of trees or shrubs into a net. He was on Apple (Malus), Crab Apple we believe. He was hard to ID from this photo, more photos to come of him plumbed up and easier to ID

Really spectacular example of this pretty moth, there were a pair a few inches apart.
