    I think I recognise it - it's commonly known as the 'Hunchback Moth', latin name - "Quasimodius Notradamii" :-)))

    Very good

    Thanks for the links. There must be considerable variation in pattern and morphology as mine didn't have the flat/ ridged wings like the ones in links 1 and 3.

    Do moths hatch fully grown from a cocoon?

    It may have not pumped the blood into its wings when you took the shot, they start off shrivelled up.

    I believe that they emerge from the Chrysalis fully grown.

    I'm sure they do but like butterflies I guess the have to dry out so could look a little different and I'm not sure how soon they get their colouring

    P.S.
    Have just realised Rolf and I have posted at the same time.
    I agree with what Rolf has said

    It may have been fairly "fresh" then?

    Yes it does look as though it has just emerged . It is definately an Angle Shades and they can vary in colour to there back grounds I think like camouflage
