The public is being encouraged to look out for the exotic-looking species of Jersey Tiger moths that have been surging in numbers.

Wildlife charity Butterfly Conservation said the day-flying moths appear to be doing well as people record butterflies they see for its annual butterfly count.

The initiative, which takes place over three weeks in summer and is currently under way until August 10, gets members of the public to spend 15 minutes recording those they see in their garden, parks or countryside.

Had one here in Hertford last week. Got a photo of its underneaths as it was on a window. Every time I tried to get a photo of the top the little bugger flew away.
