The Jersey Tiger originates from the Channel Islands and since 2017 has become a prolific sight in the Hainault area. It flies during daytime from July to September and many people mistake it for an orange-coloured butterfly when flying. The larvae feed on nettles, hemp-agrimony, plantains and other shrubs.
