It does look like the Box Tree Moth - cydalima perspectalis.

Very attractive isn't it? Best keep your eye on any box bushes you have though!

I think Janey is right with the box tree moth. The caterpillars form a webbing on the plant, and apparently it came over from Europe.

Oh dear, is this the one that does all the damage?
