JERSEY TIGER MOTH

17.08.21

A scarce moth found mostly in the south of the UK but populations are rising. I found this one on a pane of glass on an old farmhouse window. I gave it a gentle nudge to see if it would land on some of the fern next to the window but he flew off. Amazing deep red colour to the underside of the wings.

TIGER MOTH

An accidental find hidden deep a Buddleia bush, probably a Jersey Tiger Moth but there’s a fair few variations of this kind. I was following some butterflies round, and these bushes are heaving with them at the moment, until this caught my eye.
