Great tiger moth (Arctia caja), #8166

Larose Forest

Three of these large colourful moths showed up at the lights one night. Their wing span is anywhere from 45 to 70mm, the ones we saw were closer to 70mm in size.

These are such spectacular moths! Great shot! Are you using just black lights or just regular lights to attract these moths?

More of a giraffe - leopard than a tiger. Superb creature colouring nonetheless.

Beautiful moth! Using the lights is like fishing, throw it out there and see what happens... BV

Such a pretty moth and capture of it. Looks like an artist painted those patterns on its wings! V.
