I was at work and opened the car door to get in, a small brightly coloured Moth was flying about, I thought drat! I haven't got any pots on me as it settled on the window, the species instantly recognisable despite never seeing one in person before.
Strangely I went to cup it in my hands to get a better look, whoops it flew about and would you believe landed in-between the car door and the car body, I shut the door gently encapsulating the Moth and drove home.
40 minutes later I opened the car door tentatively and there it was still sitting pretty, so a mad dash for a pot at home and the result, a new record and an obliging photo.
Sometimes luck does shine down on you, note to self.... pack a few pots in the glovebox for next time!
Cherry-bark Moth Enarmonia formosana
