The Garden Tiger (Arctia caja) is a moth from the family Erebidae. The garden tiger has a fluffy red/orange body, brown-and white-patterned forewings, and bright red hindwings with four or five large black spots. Once quite a common moth over most of Britain, it seems to have suffered considerable declines in many places since the 1980s. Photo taken by David Palmar as part of a moth trapping session at the Scottish Entomologists' Gathering in Dundreggan.
