The garden tiger moth is a moth with bold patterned wings that warn predators it is unsafe to eat. It lives in cool, temperate parts of the northern United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Its caterpillars are known as 'woolly bears' because of their fuzzy look.1

Leef in

Northern United States, Canada, Europe, and northern and central Asia; up to 3,000 m in the Tien Shan mountains1

Europa, Asië, Noord-Amerika

Tuis

It lives in many wild habitats, from grasslands to forests. It needs a cool climate with clear seasons, and tropical climates do not suit it. Its caterpillars eat a wide range of plants.1

Wat eet dit?

The caterpillars are generalists and eat many different plants, from foxglove and members of the daisy family to plantago. Adults do not feed at all and live only on energy stored during the caterpillar stage.1

Gifkrag

Brandhare

Piepklein haartjies of borsels breek in die vel af en brand.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

This moth does not inject venom. Its body fluids are poisonous and contain neurotoxic choline esters, which are nerve-affecting chemicals that interfere with the acetylcholine receptor. The full effects of these toxins are not yet known. Caterpillars have hollow hairs that often contain irritating compounds.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When threatened, adults can spray an irritating compound from glands that are exposed at that moment, and their bright wing patterns warn predators.1

As jy aan sy hare raak

Vir ruspe-brandhare: lig hulle af met kleefband en was dan die vel. Moenie vryf nie.
Vir byte: was en koel af. Kry mediese hulp as die persoon sleg voel of maklik bloei.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As jy aan sy hare raak: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Adults can make rasping sounds with their wings and high-pitched squeaks that people can hear, and bats tend to avoid them.1

Caterpillars can break down the toxins in their host plants and reuse them in altered form for their own protection.1

The French entomologist Oberthür described about 500 different wing pattern and colour variants.1

Adults are mostly active at night, from June to September.1
