Tiger Moth
Conservation status: Least Concern
|
The Amata genus has 36 species in Australia. Many of them are very similar in appearance and the different species can be difficult to identify from each other. However, they are typically brightly coloured (yellow/orange and black) with boldly patterned wings and striped bodies, which give them their common name of "Tiger" moths.
