The giant leopard moth or eyed tiger moth (Hypercompe scribonia) is a moth of the family Arctiidae.It is distributed throughout southern Ontario, and southern and eastern United States from New England to Mexico.he obsolete name Ecpantheria scribonia is still occasionally encountered. This species has a wingspan of 76 mm (3 in). The wings of this moth are bright white with a pattern of neat black blotches, some solid and some hollow. The abdomen is dark blue with orange markings, the male has a narrow yellow line on the sides.
Melanism has appeared in the European and North American peppered moth populations. Information about the initial rise in melanic frequency is scarce. Much more is known about the subsequent fall in phenotype frequency, because it was measured with moth traps. A black peppered moth was found in 1811, a rareity, no doubt caused by a gene mutation. By 1864 the darker 'carbonaria' form was the more common morph in Manchester. By 1895, it reached a frequency of 98% in Manchester. From around 1962 to the present, the phenotype frequency of carbonaria has steadily fallen.
