Jersey Tiger
Euplagia quadripunctaria
(Poda, 1761)
Wingspan 42-52 mm.

One of the most attractive of the Tiger moths, this species was until recently restricted in distribution to the Channel Islands and parts of the south coast . On the mainland it is commonest in south Devon, but colonies have recently appeared in Dorset and the Isle of Wight, and it has also been found in other southern counties. It now seems to be expanding its range quite quickly.

There is also a thriving population in parts of London, but whether this is due to range expansion or the result of accidental introduction is still unclear.

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. The main flight period is July to September.

The hairy larvae feed on a range of herbaceous plants including nettle (Urtica).

Sa traiasca !!!
Mai exista fluture in Ro care nu sa fi cazut "victima" aparatului tau ? Si aceasta captura este superba cu niste culori interesante.
Sa ai o seara frumoasa,
Adrian

Hi Horia,not easy to meet this beutiful moth and not easy to take a wonderful pic like that.One the most spectacular moth that i seen for the first time me too this year,beautiful composition too.Thanks for share,have a nice day,Luciano.

So nice it had me fooled into thinking it was a butterfly....I have seen my share of moths in the wilderness....this one is most dramatic however. Your eye and lens have caught the most important parts and the knowledge based on notes is succinct!

Hello Horia,
Very fine picture of this impressive moth, which I also saw for the first time during summer. Good sharpness and nice color-contrast with the background. It seems that this moth lives almost everywhere in Europe.
Kind regards
Anne
