Tiger Moths

A local woman caught 156 Jersey tiger moths in her moth trap last night! I've seen a couple today. The one pictured was taken through the double-glazing from the inside. They're a real success story, having only started to colonise this area about three years ago.

I remember seeing garden tigers a lot when I was a child but haven't seen one of those since. They are suffering from the 'tidying up' of our countryside.  I have spotted and photographed a couple of ruby tigers.
