Goat and Tigers

This has been a busy month in the world of moths, the warm humid weather bringing them out in droves.  There will be a full account later, but on Monday night we had three Nationally Scarce moths - The Jersey Tiger, the slightly worn Four-spotted Footman, and the formidable Goat Moth - as well as the strikingly beautiful Garden Tiger, all of which are pictured below.

Garden Tiger - Arctia caja

Jersey Tiger - Euplagia quadripunctaria

Four-spotted Footman - Lithosia quadra

Goat Moth - Cossus cossus
