Tiger moths, (family Arctiidae), any of about 11,000 species of moths (order Lepidoptera), the common name of which is derived from that of one of its most common genera, Grammia, which have dark wings with red or orange spots and white stripes, sometimes displayed in striking geometric patterns.
I found this Tiger Moth in the interior forest of North Aceh, this type of moth has a brighter color. And the size is a little bigger than the usual moth.
Regarding performance, Tiger moths are no less agile than other moths. It's just that the difference from other moths, this moth prefers to suck the nectar that is in wild flowers in the forest.
If you go to the forest and want to find it, my advice is to look for grass with lots of wild flowers. Or areas with a little puddle of water, because these moths also eat moss.
And I managed to snap a few photos of the tiger moth while he was perched on a leaf.
If you are curious about the beauty of the photos, let's take a look at the photos below! Hope you like it.
