I had five butterflies on an Erysimum today - and this fella, which is a 'Garden Tiger Moth'.

Wow. Beautiful butterfly... I've never seen one of those ones... how rare are they? Its wings really do look snow tiger-like :p

Hi Jennyfer - it's a moth, and I've only seen it once before in my garden. When I looked it up, my book says it's a 'declining species', which is a shame!
