[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Callimorpha dominula, the Scarlet Tiger, is a moth belonging to the family Arctiidae .
Common in some parts of Europe, it happens to be scarce in my corner of the woods, so this was a happy encounter!
It is day-flying, but also comes to light at night occasionally.
Wingspan a goodish 50 mm.
Larva feeds on a number of herbaceous plants.

Bonjour Philippe,
Magnifique présentation de ce lépidoptère bien coloré pas facile à photographier. Je l'ai vu voler quelque fois, mais il se cache toujours si bien!
Une belle journée

Hi Philippe,

Excellent capture with perfect light and balanced. Very good colors in the details of insect. The composition is good and is enhanced by the very precise and natural background.

Regards & TFS!

Hello Philippe !

Extraordinary capture.
Contrast, color, light, splendid!

Llamativo conjunto por el juego realizado con los colores y las formas. Una toma diferente, artística y a la vez instructiva de una especie poco vista.
Saludos.
