TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that the Harnessed Tiger Moth (Apantesis phalerata) is a moth native to eastern North America?
These moths are noted for the clicks they make as a defence mechanism and to communicate with other moths.
Their cream and black stripes look like a harness giving it its name.
