I found this moth, not sure of the type, sitting motionless on an external wall at the front of the visitors centre. It was under a light but was not flying around, just resting motionless. The moth was about three centimetres long. In looking at the photographs I was intrigued to see the purple colouring on the insect. Sorry, I have no idea of the species.

Fisera for me, Fraus appears to have a more elongated overall shape. F. hypoleuca seems quite likely.
