Looks like a Jersey Tiger moth

That's it. Thanks!
They are quite rare and most likely protected in your area as well. I’m kinda jealous you found one.
It's still there, he got caught in the rain. Should I do anything?
If you wish. It’s not necessary however since rain is part of nature I think.
You can log the record on various platforms. If you are in the South of England, they have a strong population. They are expected to move northwards due to climate change.
