Just googled and you're right. Cinnabar moths look very different, turns out I've been seeing scarlet tigers for a while and calling them cinnabars. The shame!
Ha no worries, I find I get cinnabar and 5 spot burnets confused all the time. I’m also terrible at entomology despite spending a lot of time riverside as a hobby and also working with insects. Constantly put to shame by our tech who is an insect wizard.
