$The scarlet tiger moth (Callimorpha dominula, formerly Panaxia dominula) is a colorful moth belonging to the tiger moth subfamily, Arctiinae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. \nDescription:\nCallimorpha dominula has a wingspan of 45–55 millimeters. Adults of this species are quite variable in color. The forewings usually have a metallic-green sheen on the blackish areas, with white and yellow or orange markings. Hindwings are red with three large and irregular black markings. These moths may also occur in rare color forms, one with yellow hindwings and body and one with extended black on hindwings. The thorax is black glossed with green and shows two longitudinal short yellow stripes. The abdomen is black. The scarlet tiger moth has developed mouthparts, that allow it to feed on nectar. The caterpillars can reach a length of about 40 millimeters . They are dark gray with yellow stripes and small white dots.\nBiology:\nThe imagines are active during the day in May and June. This species has a single generation. The caterpillars are polyphagous. They mainly feed on comfrey (Symphytum officinale), but also on a number of other plants (Urtica, Cynoglossum, Fragaria, Fraxinus, Geranium, Lamium, Lonicera, Myosotis, Populus, Prunus, Ranunculus, Rubus, Salix and Ulmus species). \nDistribution and habitat:\nThis species is present in most of Europe and in the Near East (Turkey, South Caucasus and northern Iran). These moths prefer damp areas (wet meadows, river banks, fens and marshes), but they also can be found on rocky cliffs close to the sea (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Long Weekend in the South of Belgium in June 2019.$

Owl-eyed moths are perfect examples of 'mimickry in nature'. The eye-spots on the wings look like eyes of an owl and hence, predators will think twice before attacking it.

$Craniophora ligustri, the coronet, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. It is found in Europe, through the Palearctic to Japan.\nDescription:\nThe wingspan is 30–35 mm. Its forewings are purplish fuscous, more or less greenish tinged, with a paler patch beyond the cell; prothorax conspicuously whitish. The white patch distal to the reniform appears to resemble a crown, hence the name coronet. Wing coloration and size is dependent on the environmental factor in which they grow as well as it is expected to be shown through physical differences and morphology.\nBiology:\nThe moth flies from April to September depending on the location. The caterpillars feed on Fraxinus excelsior, common lilac and Ligustrum vulgare.\nDistribution:\nIt is found from western and central Europe to the Russian Far East, northern China, Japan and Korea. In the north, the range extends to southern Scandinavia, the Baltic States and central Russia (approximately north to Saint Petersburg) as well as Ukraine. However, on the Iberian Peninsula, the species is limited to the north. In the eastern Mediterranean, it reaches northern Greece with smaller isolated occurrence in central Greece and the Peloponnese. The distribution area also includes Israel, Asia Minor and the Caucasus. It occurs in Cyprus (source Wikipedia).\n\nThe Picture is made during a light catch in the South of Limburg half way of August 2021. This is a common Species in the Netherlands.$
