A Clouded Border(female), well that's what I identify it as,
it flew in the house last night.

A pretty sight to see, Josee. I’m not au fait with identifying many insects.

Oh dear, it's a Box-tree Moth (Cydalima perspectalis). A bit of a pest if you grow Box.

I saved one recently from a water dish ... maybe not such a good idea!

Crumbs! I didn’t realise. I’ve a box hedge in the front garden!

Thank you so much Muddywalter for identifying this moth.
It is not in my Collins field guide as it is a 1993 edition. I followed the link you gave & read up about it, then trotted down the garden to my one & only box plant & yes, I found very tiny eggs between two leaves, they are now drowning in the water butt. Don't know where the moth is at present, I thought it was quite attractive so pity it is the dreaded box pest. I hope your hedge will stay free, Kate, keep a look out!

Well identified Muddy and just in time for some of us to look out for it ,I'm glad you found the eggs Ff , ...
