The Jersey Tiger Moth Euplagia quadripunctaria
|
Seen early morning in my garden, this striking moth is one of the most attractive of the Tiger moths. It flies both in the daytime, when it can be found feeding on various flowers, as well as at night, when it is attracted to light.I first published the Tiger moth in 2012, when I saw one in the garden at night, and this is only my second sighting. The main flight period is July to September,and the hairy larvae feed on a range of herbaceous plants including nettle (Urtica). I am joining in the party at Saturday Critters, just click on the link to see more critters from around the world.

Such a beautiful creature and your photos are awesome!
The Jersey Tiger Moth photos are wonderful! I have several Tiger moths in my garden but rarely get to see and photograph them, and not in action like yours. I like the ones where you captured the red underwings, but the ones on the lantana with the wings folded up are breathtaking! They look like a work of art, the zebra of the moth world.
Splendid images!
Such a beautiful butterfly! Great photos!
great shot, beautiful markings
What a joy to see your moth up close, through wonderful blogs such as yours I am getting up close and personal with all manner of critters, happily through someone else's lens!
Have a great week.
