TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that the Red Costate Tiger Moth (Aloa lactinea) wears stripey socks? This is a good sized moth (wingspan averages about 40mm) can be found in much of Asia. The caterpillars feed on a wide variety of plants, making some people think of them as a minor pest.

Creature Awaits #237
Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )
We continue this year's Christmas-time theme…"Peppermint" where we'll feature beautiful animals sporting Red and White. : )

The Red Costate Tiger Moth
Scientific Name: Aloa lactinea
Region: Throughout southeast Asia
Size: About 1.6" (~40mm) long
Interesting Notes: Though destined to grow into a beautiful moth, sadly the caterpillar phase of this gorgeous insect is somewhat considered a pest - feeding on a variety of crops including coffee, sunflowers, sweet potatoes and beans.
