[1] SubspeciesSubspecies within this species include: [2]
Distribution and habitatThis species is present in most of Europe and in the Near East (Turkey, Transcaucasus and northern Iran). [2][3] These moths prefer damp areas (wet meadows, river banks, fens and marshes), but they also can be found on rocky cliffs close to the sea. [5][4] DescriptionCallimorpha dominula has a wingspan of {{convert|45|-|55|mm}}. Adults of this species are quite variable in color. The forewings usually have a metallic green sheen on the blackish areas, with white and yellow or orange markings. Hindwings are red with three large and irregular black markings. These moths may also occur in rare colour forms, one with yellow hindwings and body and one with extended black on hindwings. The thorax is black glossed with green and shows two longitudinal short yellow stripes. [5] The abdomen is black. Scarlet tiger moth has developed mouthparts, that allow it to feed on nectar.[6] The caterpillars can reach a length of about {{convert|40|mm}}. They are dark gray with yellow stripes and small white dots. BiologyThe imagines are active during the day in May and June. This species has a single generation. The caterpillars are polyphagous. They mainly feed on comfrey (Symphytum officinale), but also on a number of other plants (Urtica, Cynoglossum, Fragaria, Fraxinus, Geranium, Lamium, Lonicera, Myosotis, Populus, Prunus, Ranunculus, Rubus, Salix and Ulmus species). [2][4][6][7] The three morphs occurring in the population at the Cothill reserve in Oxfordshire, Britain, have been the subject of considerable genetic study (McNamara 1998), including research by E.B. Ford, R.A. Fisher and Denis Owen. McNamara (1998) describes how amateurs can rear this species. [8] GalleryBibliography
