It's a Monarch (also know as Milkweed due to that being the plant of choice for the caterpillars) butterfly. It occasionally appears in this country (and I think it's the biggest butterfly native to the UK).
(yes, I used to breed butterflies - although never actually Monarchs)

You've also reminded me that I must listen to some more Divine Comedy. Once I've finished listening to Vol 3 of 69 Love ongs, anyway...
