Angle shades - sounds more like an item of interior decoration than a rather attractive moth - otherwise known as Phlogophora meticulosa. This particular one was having a lucky day as it emerged from a pile of comfrey leaves that I'd just started chopping up. It kindly paused for me to fetch my camera and take a photo before flying off when I tapped the leaf.
