Jersey Tiger Moths Euplagia quadripunctaria, are widely distributed throughout Europe. Once rare in Britain, they are now increasingly found in the South of England. Recently we spotted one in the eastern Pyrenees one evening. It wasn’t very close and I had only a small camera with me so the results aren’t startling. However, the photos give a fair idea of this very pretty moth.
I knew at once what sort of moth this was, because we had found one – the only one I’ve ever seen before – in our garden in Dorset last year, and I to go through the usual online process to ID it.

I take it you mean the insect moth not the double-winged moth in the final photo…! RH

It’s only quite recently that I’ve realised moths are just as worthwhile as b/flies. I used to think they were small and evil, requiring squishing or Flit; medium dull grey or brown; or massive moon moths of a National Geographic article sort…
