Tiger Moths include some of the most beautiful of all moths, whereas others are quite plain. Think Arizona Sister and Eufala Skipper and you will get the idea. They also have very interesting ecologies regarding host plants, predator avoidance (both larvae and adults), and entomologists have had a difficult time figuring out where the fit in Lepidoptera family tree. Join us for a look at this intriguing group of moths. I know they are not butterflies, but they are close!
