Scarlet tiger moth (Callimorpha dominula)25mm lenght

Scarlet tiger moth looking resplendent, and so colourful even viewed from beneath.

These insects are brightly coloured to show predators they are poisonous, or very disgusting to eat, once a bird for instance tried one it certainly wouldn't bother again that's for sure, so they don't need to camouflage themselves and therefore free to look fabulous with beautiful colourful wings etc.

What a beautifully patterned little insect, and when it flies .... "Oh' it's a wonderful sight to witness .... flashes of delightful redness .... Made my day being able to photograph this wonderful insect .... 😁

Why not expand this image and take a closer look at it's interesting face etc.

Oh' it might not be such a good idea, it's a little bit frightening actually. 😂😹😅😵

 

Love & Peace everyone!

Please stay safe in these

worrying times. 😊
