We call it "Brauner Baer" Bro
We call it "Brauner Baer" Brown Baer (Arctia caja)in Germany. I'm always delighted to see those circumpolar species from my childhood that you Northerners post. Here in Tucson I rarely find anything familiar!

Arctia caja. A pretty distinctive-looking Tiger Moth. Nice find.
