Beautiful Foxy...

I think this is the Garden Tiger Moth. I did a Google search, and the Scarlet Tiger Moth looks similar, but the front wings have a black background with white or cream and orange spots. The Garden Tiger Moth looks just like the beautiful one in Foxy's photo.

Awesome, I love moths, remember seeing one of those when I lived in Stainland. This is a picture of one I had on my front porch earlier this year, its a Blinded Sphinx, its pretty big though, bout 2 inches long and three inches wide.

Many years ago, I found a fat, furry bothag, and kept him, feeding him up etc. He was a fat black fellow, with spiky black hairs all over, and spiky red ones in clumps down his back. Eventually he wrapped himself up in a lettuce leaf, and emerged several months later as one of these gorgeous Tiger Moths. Just thought I'd share... :)

Would it have been like the one in the pic i posted on "Just because," Weeburd?
I would move it to here but don't seem able to do so.

I think that's him, Lizz, I've heard of them being called "Woolly Bears" too!:)

This is furry bothag we found in August last year, down by Braal Castle...

This time I forgot to take pics of the caterpillar, however he was quite a long, green fellow. We were at a complete loss as to his identity until he emerged in May as this pretty Angle Shaded moth. The photo's don't do him justice - he was quite vibrant shades onf green and pink/purple...
