Not the tiger you first think of, this is a Tiger Moth that decided to hunker down on a chilly afternoon by my wood pile as I was stacking next year's heat.

Agreeable Tiger Moth-Spilosoma congrua.
Actually not really upside down. That's just how I had to photograph it to get a good look at those beautiful dark eyes.

I had made a less successful image of this same species earlier that morning in the field I visit for Grass Pinks (not quite ready yet) and was pleased to see another in the yard.
