Princely Tiger Moth
Chrysocale principalis
Adult Princely Tiger Moths inhabit warm vegetated areas where their larval food plants grow. They are most active around dusk and at night, flying between resting sites and flowers for nectar. Their patterned, scale-covered wings can serve as a warning display, while chemical defenses retained from the larval diet make them less appealing prey.
