Just upload it to Imgur and post the URL. So much easier and quicker.

Click on this picture icon I circled,then click on upload,then choose file like originally then send to server & it should work? -

[Jungle Jane]

I didn’t need to cut any off the photo so it has improved from the previous way,hope you’re alright over there.

[farendwoman]

It’s taken about an hour to get to your post to reply. It’s so slow....Looks like a ruby tiger moth,it’s lovely never seen one before here.

[self-contained]

I think ruby tiger moth as well, though with deformed wings.

[farendwoman]

Thank you self contained and jungle Jane.
would have thanked you much sooner, but couldn’t get on.
it is beautiful isn’t it. I’ve never seen one before either.

That's a Moth just crawled out of it's cacoon and has not pumped fluid into the wings to expand them, I'd go Tiger Moth as well.

[farendwoman]

Thank you Burnie
spot on!,,
i didn’t know about them needing to pump up their wings,
i must’ve disturbed his cocoon as I was weeding.
