Jersey Tiger Moth! (Record Shot)
Not something I expected to see when I was having a nose through the Estate Agent's window in Ipwich Town Centre this morning! A Jersey Tiger Moth!
The Jersey Tiger Moth is a beautiful moth with creamy white strips on its forewing and bold orange underwings. It can be found in gardens and by the coast, near beaches and coastal cliffs. The caterpillars feed mainly on ground ivy, white dead-nettle, branmble and common nettle. Jersey Tiger Moths fly in both day and night. Jersey Tigers are mainly found in the south of England, particularly in Devon and Dorset. They have also been recorded in Sussex, Kent, the Isle of Wight and around London.
