Tiger Moth Hard Enamel Pin

Tiger Moths are common along the coastal areas of eastern Australia. They’re sometimes called wasp moths, as their slender bodies, antennae and stance look a lot like a wasp. They get their name from their fuzzy orange and black striped abdomen, while their black wings with bright orange spots really make them stand out from other moths. Unlike most moths, they’re active during the day, feeding on nectar and helping to pollinate flowers as they go.

Fun fact: Some tiger moths can detect bats’ echolocation calls and respond with their own ultrasonic clicks. These clicks can jam the bat’s sonar and warn it that the moth tastes terrible, saving it from becoming dinner.

Wear it on a jacket, hat, bag or lanyard. A striking gift for moth lovers, bug fans and nature nerds.
