Jersey Tiger Moth,
Euplagia quadripunctaria
The jersey tiger moth has black and cream strips on its forewing and red or orange underwings with black spots. When in flight the orange underwings are really noticeable but often these are covered by the black and cream forewings when it settles. Active by day, it’s generally spotted in the south of England. Sightings are very much on the increase possibly as a consequence of climate change.
