I have no idea, Best shot I could get, couldn't catch it. Probably a moth of some sort, But something niggling at me tells me i should know what this is.
Anyone got any ideas?

I will stand corrected but it looks a member of the Burnett's moth family

I will stand corrected but it looks a member of the Burnett's moth family Description: The most distinguishing characters of the Burnet Moth are its six red spots (occasionally yellow or even black) on the forewing .

Pammene aurana perhaps? A bit late in October apparently but still....

Perfect match!
Glad i didn't send it off to the recording scheme.
It was photo'd earlier in the year, I was just editing through a load of old stuff and saw it. Think it was July by the look of the rain!
Thankyou.

Thanks noel for the Burnett, I remember those from child hood on the local sand dunes, It's a lovely little moth and very active in the daytime, which this was too.

In case you wondered I found the identification by looking at the moths in a very battered copy of the Collins Pocket Guide to Insects, a gem of a book, not too good on detail for aquatic insects or any other tricky ones come to that, but an excellent all rounder.

The only moth that looked anything like yours in the book - apart from the Burnett moths as noel rightly says - was a micro moth which has a dark body and a couple of large bright blotches, Pammene regiana.
I did a google image search for Pammene and your moth was there. As you can tell I'm easy to distract!

Here's a pic of Pammene regiana

I have made a Fool of myself twice this year sending in specimens that i thought were weird and wonderfull caddis but have turned out to be moths.





They both in the field seemed to tick the right boxes.

Theres so many of them ( caddis and Moths) it's hard to keep up.
