Moths have furry bodies. Butterflys smooth. Does look like a moth.

Moth's wings lie flat, butterfly's stand out from their body.

Looks like it could be a mint moth.

Think you've got it spot on there Woz. Pyrausta aurata rather than p. pupuralis or p. ostrinalis as aurata has the fewer spots.

Looks the same as your photo @Wozzaaah now it is focused a bit better, never seen or heard of one we have a lot of Kat-mint in the garden
