This pretty insect is found throughout the area assigned to our 
local Fauna; and is commonly known as the " Garden Tiger," from 
the similarity of markings on its wings to those on the skin of the 
Tiger.

This very handsome species occurs in most places within the line 
of our district. It is not quite so common an insect as A. caja, that 
insect, though usually found singly, is more generally distributed ; 
but the somewhat gregarious habit of A. villica causes it to be cap- 
tured in numbers, making it, as far as specimens prove, nearly as 
plentiful as A. caja.
