    Looking at the bit of hindwing visible, in light of Dave's recent blog on the subject, isn't that a Clifden Nonpareil?!

    Of course it could be just worn. Easier for a RU to lose the black scales than it would be for a Clifden Nonpareil to gain them...

    I guess that's the most likely explanation. The forewing tips are a bit worn.

    It was definitely a red underwing - we potted it and it was showing off its hindwings!
