.....Once a very common moth across the
whole of the UK, the Garden Tiger has now all but
disappeared from Nottinghamshire. Well known to
generations of school children for its 'Woolly Bear'
caterpillar, today's younger generations have missed out
on seeing this splendid moth. Although there have been
very few records in recent years, it seems that the
Garden Tiger is making a comeback, with the Idle Valley
NR now recording it annually, but we also know of at
least one site in suburban Nottingham, where it has also
occurred in recent years. |
