  • Cover photo description:
  • A first sighting of the Jersey Tiger can leave observers feeling exasperated. It looks like a butterfly, flies like a butterfly, is the same size as a butterfly and, like a butterfly, is found during the day. But, despite what your eyes may be telling you, the Jersey Tiger is actually a moth.It is not just any moth though. The Jersey Tiger turns the perception of moths as dull, brown jumper-devourers upon its head. At rest, its black wings are streaked with white tiger stripes, but once disturbed the Jersey Tiger reveals a whirr of crimson – equally as dramatic as anything produced by the brashest of British butterflies.This performance used to be an incredibly rare spectacle confined to a tiny corner of Devon. But, in the space of just 20 years has seen the Jersey Tiger take to the skies and spread across large swathes of the UK after staying dormant in Devon for a century
