Lovely image. Interesting that you found it high up on Beeley Moor. I've only seen them in the bottom of the valleys by rivers, usually on water mint flowers...
That's a nice photo Rod, the food plant of the larva is the nettle so I guess they can be found in quite a range of habitats. There were plenty in the rough areas bordering the moor.
