Six Spot Burnet moth DSC_5239

Six Spot Burnet moth / zygaena filipendulae. Old Moor RSPB reserve, S.Yorkshire. 18/07/16.

 

One of four mating pairs of Six Spot Burnet moths found during the early evening, as the heat gradually subsided. All were very approachable for macro work and I made the most of the opportunity.

 

A first sighting of the species for this summer.
