Found this little guy resting in the lee of a board on my coldframe in the rain. Brought it inside to show Isa. Pretty, bold colors. I think it's a moth- the body is short and fat, the wings relatively small. But don't really know. It fluttered against the door and curtain so hard to get a clear picture not fuzzy but here's the little guy. I really like the geometric pattern on the wings, very striking.
We let him go again outside when the rain stopped.

It is the harnessed moth! Apantesis phalerata
Or the Banded Tiger Moth, not sure which now.
