The message
from "Ron" contains these words:

I was told when a nipper in the depths of GLS that the tiger moth was so
called because it's caterpillar was coloured and striped like a tiger.

Greater London (South)?

None of the tiger moths has a stripey caterpillar. Spotty, a bit hairy,
but not stripey.
