An Oak Eggar or Northern Eggar moth.
At about 45mm across I was pleased there was glass between it and me.

      Simon: Can't help it. I just go cold all over when it comes to moths.

    What a beauty. I have only ever seen one and the poor thing must have been attacked by a bird as it had lost nearly all its wings :(
