Hi Chris

It's a Plume moth of some description.

There is a book available of Briish Pyralid and Plume Moths (can't remember the author right now) and that should help you and I reckon you should be able to borrow it from your local library

Thanks and Regards

I think these are living dinasaurs as it were, on the old evolutionary scale the plume moth family are among the first moth species to evolve, but no doubt Phil at the BNH will correct me!
