Leopard Moth (Zeuzera pyrina)

Species account from Moths of Glamorgan
(Gilmore, Slade & Stewart, 2009):

Univoltine, flying from mid June to mid August, although there are two documented records for May: Roath, Cardiff 1919 and on Gower in 2002, both of which are very early for this species. Found in most lowland woodlands and especially in gardens around the Cardiff area.
