Agreeable tiger moth Spilosoma congrua

The caterpillar of this moth feeds on dandelion and plantain. It's a wonder it isn't even more common in the city and suburbs.


These two seem to agree. Smaller male (with larger, pheromone-gathering antennae) on right, female on left.

Kind of reminds me of my sister's wedding dress. (Which was lovely.)
