I found a bug or something, i don't know what it is. i've looked on google for it... help me!

Question

it's like a moth i think.

it's very large, adult i think.

when landed it is brown-y black (or just a very dark brown)

but in flight it has a huge orange blob on it

it folds back it's wings, (not that butterfly thing when they stick them up in the air) what kind of moth is it?

thanks
