The Scarlet Tiger Moth (Callimorpha dominula, formerly Panaxia dominula) is a colorful moth of Europe and western and central Asia (Dubatalov n.

It belongs to the tiger moth family, Arctiidae. Arctiidae is a large and diverse family of Moths with around 11000 species found all over the world with 6000 Neotropical species (Scoble 1995
The larvae feed mostly on comfrey (Symphytum officinale). For the place see Comfrey Minnesota Comfrey (also comphrey) is an important Herb in Organic gardening, having many medicinal The imagos fly by day.
It can occur in rare colour forms, one with yellow hindwings and body and one with extended black on hindwings.
The three morph occurring in the population at the Cothill reserve in Oxfordshire, Britain, have been the subject of considerable genetic study (McNamara 1998). Polymorphism in biology occurs when two or more clearly different Phenotypes exist in the same population of a species — in other words the occurrence of more than one History See also History of Oxfordshire The county of Oxfordshire was formed in the early years of the 10th century and is broadly situated in the The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located
McNamara (1998) describes how amateurs can rear this species.
