Silver-spotted ghost moth

DH runs into the cottage today "I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, maybe it's leaves, but come see this" So I run out, scoop this little lady up and bring her in for a photoshoot. I had no idea what it was, it looked vaguely like a sphinx moth, a silk moth, a tussock moth... turns out it was Sthenopis argenteomaculatus, the Silver-spotted ghost moth. What a gorgeous little creature...
