OK - it's basic wing colour is white, but with an orange-yellow top half of the central body. At rest, it holds it's wings out flat. It has remarkable black markings. If you can picture it, the very edges of the wings are black, then its as though there are black spots touching the black edge, almost giving a scalloped effect. Then above the scallop is a second row of black spots which follows the line of the wings' edges, but not touching the second row of spots.
Oh heck. If anyone has an email they can PM me, I'll send the jpeg!
