Two-spots Tiger Moths - Asota plagiata

Family Aganaidae

This page contains pictures and information about Two-spots Tiger Moths that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Body length 25mm 

 

This moth sometime listed it as a separate family AGANAIDAE, or listed as a sub-family of ARCTIIDAE. The moths have brown forewings with veins visible in white colour, and a white spot in the middle. 

 

 

 

We took the first picture on the wall outside our house in a summer night. The above second picture taken in our front yard on Jan 2005.

 

Their caterpillars are dark brown with white markings, feed on Ficus macrophylla.
