Jersey tiger (Euplagia quadripunctaria)


This species of butterfly is common in the Mediterranean, in Europe and in Western Asia. Large groups of Euplagia quadripunctaria (rhodosensis) can be found sheltering from the summer heat in The Valley of Butterflies, natural park in Petaloudes, (Petaloùdes,Πεταλούδες), located at a distance of 23 km from the capital Rhodes. In the end of May - beginning of June millions of moths gathered on the trees, in some cases covering entire tree trunks and flying only during the night.
Этот вид бабочек распространен в Средиземноморье, в Европе и в Западной Азии. Большие группы Euplagia quadripunctaria подвида rhodosensis можно наблюдать укрывающимися от жары в Долине бабочек, природном парке в местечке Petaloudes, (Πεταλούδες), расположенном на расстоянии 23 км от столицы острова Родос. В конце мая-начале июня миллионы бабочек собираются на деревьях, а в некоторых случаях покрывают стволы деревьев целиком. Полеты их происходят только ночью.
