Emperor moth, very impressive

Hi Val
 I think Linda’s photo is a large emperor moth.
 There is a bigger one called the giant emperor moth and this is one by our house in Najac in May 2006.
 Best wishes

and here's one Malc photographed in May 2007 in Varen. The French name is paon de nuit - nocturnal peacock and is the largest nocturnal moth in Europe.
