Virgin Tiger Moth (Apantesis virgo)
Beautiful moth Melody but I don't think it's a Virgin Tiger moth. Take a look at my moth posted and you'll see the difference. There are a lot of markings missing on your moth. There are a few moths that really look alike, like the Banded, Harnessed and the Nais, so I'm not possivite which moth yours is but I'll give it a guess of the Nais.
It's really kinda hard to ID some of these Tiger moths without seeing the underwing too.
