The Jersey Tiger Moth

Renowned for her scientific accuracy and artistic elegance, Dutch painter Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750} often featured butterflies and other insects in her flower still life paintings.

The Jersey Tiger Moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria), native to, Europe, is celebrated for its bold, striped forewings of black and cream, contrasted by vivid orange or red hindwings. In art and folklore, its striking coloration symbolizes contrast and duality, with the hidden brilliance of its hindwings suggesting themes of revelation and transformation.

The Jersey Tiger Moth's intricate patterns and vibrant hues align well with Ruysch's dedication to capturing the complexity and beauty of the natural world.
