Mystery critter in the Rogue-Umpqua Divide - Tyria jacobaeae
Tiller, Douglas County, Oregon, USA
June 16, 2007
Size: 1" to 1 1/2"
I found this guy in the Rogue-Umpqua Wilderness near Elephant Head, Umpqua National Forest. I haven't seen him in any of the online guides or guidebooks and I am intrigued. I've seen lots of butterflies and moths in my hiking but never one like this

... Tyria jacobaeae, the Cinnibar Moth. It was introduced from Europe to control Tansy Ragwort - see info on species page.
