    Default Jersey tiger moth: Panaxia quadripunctaria

    The Jersey tiger moth is found in South and Central Europe, and in Britain on the Channel Islands and some parts of the south coast of Devon.
    Some have been reported to be in London but it is thought they have been introduced. No one knows for sure.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.
