Phragmatobia lineata
Tiger moths are stout, hairy moths with broad wings and bright colors. They are often poisonous. The conspicuous colors, particularly those on the back wings, warn birds that they are inedible. The caterpillars look a lot like a mini hairy bear, which explains the Dutch name 'beervlinder' ('bear moth').
Overwinters.
