Wikipedia definition
2. Garden tiger moth​The garden tiger moth (Arctia caja) is a moth of the Arctiidae family. It has a wingspan of 45 to 65 millimetres (1.8 to 2.6 in). The design of the wings varies: the front wings are brown with a white pattern (which can however be missing), the back wings orange with a pattern of black dots. The conspicuous patterns serve as a warning to predators, because the moth's body fluids are poisonous.
