MarkDave W suggests you may well have a second generation of Nutmeg (it is double brooded. The "W" at the wing tip is a good pointer. Check it out.
Hi Mark you are correct this is a Large Nutmeg. It surprised everybody in 2011 by coming out in November and December. There have I think been further autumn examples since then.
