Misfortunate Burnet - _TNY_6682

This six-spot burnet (Zygaena filipendulae) is one of the many butterflies and moth we came across near the Stora Vika limestone quarry.

 

This one appears to have barely escaped something, but having damaged a wing severely in thec process. It being almost completely sheared off, this burnet was unable to fly further and facing certain doom.

 

Regardless of the damage, I must say that this is such a beautiful animal and if you zoom in, you'll see that I was able to catch quite a lot of detail.
