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.
