Tiger Moths are probably more commonly known in their juvenile state, the "Woolly Bear" caterpillar.

This Tiger Moth made it's way indoors, which made for a great close-up view.

Tiger Moths are a diverse group of moths, but this one is believed to be a Harnessed Tiger Moth. Identification requires a close look at at the criss-cross bands and lines (how many?, how thin/thick?, etc.) on the moth's wings.
