Six-spot Burnet Moth - Zygaena filipendula

A day flying moth (diurnal) species that can be found abundant throughout Europe from the Mediterranean to the northern shores of Scandinavia. This moth has a somewhat clumsy flight and is protected by strong toxins in the body which help to avoid its predators, hence the moths warning colours. Larvae will feed on clover and Birds Foot Trefoil. Seen from June to August.
