The cream-spot tiger moth is a dramatically colourful species with a more restricted range in the British Isles than its close relative the garden tiger.
In the British Isles it is found south of a line roughly drawn from the River Severn to the Wash.
Its distribution is also localized and most frequently recorded near the coast.
The caterpillars feed on various herbaceous plants such as dandelion, dock and plantain. |
