The cream-spot tiger moth, or just cream-spot tiger is a colorful species of moth from the southern regions of Europe.
Cream-spot Tiger (Epicallia villica), Csipak, Hungary.
I have photographed these specimens close the southern border of Hungary.
Cream-spot Tiger (Epicallia villica), Csipak, Hungary.
Like all moth and butterfly larvae the caterpillars of the cream-spot tiger do chew up the plants, but there aren’t enough of them to cause serious damage.
