I’ve taken this photo on my way back from work. Can anyone tell me what type of butterfly/moth it is?
Thank you.

Burnet if it has spots.
In London. Keen but lazy.

Cinnebar moth I’d say, particularly if that’s ragwort it’s on

Cinnabar moth as Jellyfire has already identified.

Spot on Jellyfire...probably laying eggs, as Ragwort is the food plant of its caterpillars.

The caterpillars are pretty impressive too. That ragwort will be smothered in stripy black and yellow ones before long
