Euplagia quadripunctaria
The Jersey Tiger, ''Euplagia quadripunctaria'', is a day-flying moth of the family Arctiidae. The adult wingspan is , and they fly from July to September, depending on the location.〔Skinner B. (1984) ''Colour Identification Guide to Moths of the British Isles (Macrolepidoptera)'', Viking (Penguin Books), London: ISBN 0-670-80354-5〕 They tend to fly close to ''Eupatorium cannabinum'', where they are hard to notice because of their camouflage.
The larvae (caterpillars) are polyphagous, feeding from September to May on nettles (''Urtica'') and raspberries(''Rubus''),〔Kirby W.F. (1903) ''The Butterflies and Moths of Europe'', Cassell & Co.

(1920) ''The Moths of the British Isles'', (Series 1, Second edition), Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd., London: 359 pp.〕 and hemp-agrimony (''Eupratoria'').〔 The insect overwinters as a small larva.〔
Large groups of adults of subspecies ''E. q. rhodosensis'' can be found on occasion aestivating (sheltering from the summer heat) in Petaloudes, on Rhodes, in a place that has become known as the 'Valley of the Butterflies'.〔Heath J. & Maitland Emmet A. (1985) ''The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland'', Vol.2, Harley Books Ltd., Colchester: ISBN 0-946589-02-X〕
