Virgin Tiger Moth 2

I wonder how this species propagates itself.

This is yet another moth that I scared up while mowing. It was well over an inch in length. What I could see when it fluttered up, but couldn't catch with my phone camera, is that its hindwings are red.

Nobody seems to know how it got its common name.
