Wasps are animals that are normally shunned by other animals and humans. The wasp's ability to provide painful stings is the culprit. So that those who have been stung by a wasp will always remember the pain caused by the sting, the wasp also has a striking striped-colored body. Wasps' distinctive colors and dangers are then copied by other insects to protect themselves.

An example of such an insect is the wasp moth, or the complete Hubner wasp moth (Hubner's wasp moth; Amata huebneri). The name "wasp moth" is clearly given because it has an orange body with black stripes like a wasp. Meanwhile, the name "Hubner" comes from the name Jacob Hubner, a German insect expert who lived in the 19th century. The name "hubner" in German also means "farmer".

Thanks to its striped motif, this moth is also known as the tiger moth. Apart from its striped body, the wasp moth can also be identified by looking at its black antennae with white tips, and its black, triangular-shaped wings.source
