This just landed on my window.
Jersey tiger moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria).
I wanted to get a photo of its spectacular wing markings, but it flew off when I tried to open my door.

See tiny organisms on show in microscopic video competition
Nikon's annual Small World In Motion competition is open to anyone around the world with an interest in film or time-lapse photography through a microscope.
This year's winning video was magnified to 100 times in size, and featured tiny hair-like structures, called cilia, in the airways of a child with a rare genetic disease.
It was submitted by Dr Ning Xu, a researcher at Tsinghua University in China, who used a series of complicated light waves to illuminate different parts of the sample in colour.
Runners up in the competition included videos of a roundworm encountering a single-celled organism and microscopic jellyfish larvae suspended in droplets of water. Clips of bioluminescent algae and a tiny sea slug were among the highly commended.
