Garden tiger moth
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

Indlela yokusiqaphela
- Adults have a wingspan of 4.5 to 6.5 cm.1
- The front wings are brown with a white pattern, which is sometimes missing.1
- The back wings are orange with dark blue dots that have black outlines.1
- The moth often hides its orange hindwings under its brown forewings when resting.1
- Caterpillars are fuzzy and can grow up to 6 cm long.1
Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba
Iinwele ezincinci okanye iinwele ezirhabaxa ziyaqhawuka esikhumbeni kwaye ziyahlaba.
Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?
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
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuthambileNjengokuhlatywa yinyosi okanye ngaphantsi. Phantse asinangozi ebantwini.Senza ntoni xa soyika?
When threatened, adults can spray an irritating compound from glands that are exposed at that moment, and their bright wing patterns warn predators.1
Ukuba uchukumisa iinwele zaso
- Kwiinwele zemibungu ehlabayo: zisuse ngeteyipu encamathelayo, emva koko uhlambe isikhumba. Musa ukukhuhla.
- Kukulunywa: hlamba uze upholise. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango ukuba umntu uziva engaphilanga kakuhle okanye wopha lula.
Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala
Hlala ukhuselekile
- Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
- Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Ukuba uchukumisa iinwele zaso: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.
Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso
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
