What is it ??




As I was going into one of my shops the other morning this monster was parked next to the entry door.
Pretty scary!

I really like the pattern on the wings.

And if you look closely it looks like a face of come kind.
Looking back at you. LOL

Spent some time looking around to ID the little guy.

Grammia parthenice, or better know as a
Tiger Moth.

Check out the link.

Normally not from this area.

That is a way cool moth! I like how you put the face on him...maybe he'll relocate permanently to lovely RR.

Wow, interesting. I love seeing cool patterned winged insects. It seems so few and far between that I ever find one!

That's cool. He reminds me of a jack o lantern with the face. I'll look later to see where that species originates.
