Day 126 Specious Tiger Moth
This beautifully marked and colourful moth came visiting us the other day. I had never seen one before so I checked my Field Guide to Insects and there I found it. It is called a Specious Tiger Moth and their larvae feed on Ficus tree leaves, that includes domestic figs. We have two fig trees in our garden so that is probably why they are here.
Day 43 Heady Maiden
This insect is called a Heady Maiden, it is actually a day-flying moth with such beautiful markings.
