Riddlesden Moth



I thought this might be an easy to identify species with the two distinctive white spots and large antennae, but its beyond a novice like me. Taken this evening on my window in Riddlesden. Any ideas? 300mm , F8, PN11 extension tube(52.5mm), in camera flash.


Cheers Stephen

Hi Stephen,
I'm no expert but it looks like a Vapourer, Orgyia antiqua (male) to me.
