Scalloped Oak Moth

Found on my front door yesterday morning.
A macro moth, the Scalloped Oak moth. (Crocallis elinguaria)
Resting it measured near 20mm across but in flight can have a wingspan of 32 - 46mm.
Not one I would like to meet indoors.

Both photos were cropped.

A bit of a surprise to see it there, in full Sun on a South facing door.
Especially as it is a night flying moth.
I would have expected it to be hidden away somewhere.
