Is this a Tiger?

Post by aiden »

Hi,

I saw this moth recently [warwickshire] and my best guess at identification is that it is a Tiger Moth.

Can anyone confirm or correct this?

Thanks, Aiden

This is either the Brown Tail: http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=1598 or Yellow Tail: http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=1815 If you managed to get a look at its tail, you'll know which one it was. If its not one of thse two, its possibly the White Satin Moth: http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=2031 but I don't think its that one, sorry its not a tiger.
Cheers all,
