Tiger Moth (Amata trigonophora) || 10% to shy-fox

Yesterday afternoon, I returned to the place where I could possibly find many interesting insects. I arrived there at noon, and the wind came over. Wind might give us a trouble in taking macro photos but I insisted to do the clicks when I spotted a tiger moth on the dried twig. It was there for little while and I had to rush to take photos before it's gone.

This species of moth is also known as daylight moth (Amata trigonophora) belongs to Arctiidae. This moth has black wings with yellow spots. Its forewings are filled with five elongated oval yellow spots that attach nearest the wingtips while the head is black and yellow with two soft antennas on it. The thorax is primarily dominated by a yellow band and the abdomen is banded with a yellow and black strip.

It seemed to be calm on the wild plant, this would allow me to take a few shots. Through its appearance, we can clearly see that this tiger moth has black wings and a yellow spot with black stripes on its back and two soft black antennae make this moth look more beautiful while the thorax is primarily dominated by a yellow band and the abdomen is banded with yellow and black stripes.

I found this lovely moth somewhere around the bushes near the public street a little while ago. As this moth look smaller, I had to use a smartphone plus an external macro device to capture it.
