The Feathered Footman (Spiris striata) is a moth of the family Arctiidae. It is found in Europe, Anatolia, Siberia and South-East Asia. The wingspan is 30 35 mm. The moth flies May to August depending on the location. The larvae feed on low vegetation and grasses. Arctiidae is a large and diverse family of moths with around 11,000 species found all over the world, including 6,000 neotropical species. This family includes the groups commonly known as tiger moths (or tigers), which usually have bright colours, footmen (which are usually much drabber), lichen moths and wasp moths. Many species have 'hairy' caterpillars which are popularly known as woolly bears or woolly worms. The scientific name refers to this (Gk. = a bear). Caterpillars may also go by the name 'tussock moths' (more usually this refers to Lymantriidae, however).
