It's named the True Lover's Knot!, Pt. 2 - _TNY_3913

This absolutely stunningly patterned moth is another one of those with a poetic English name - meet the True Lover's Knot (Lycophotia porphyrea)!

 

This one made a quick stop at some of the tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) by the Nedre Dammen pond in Åva-Stensjödal and allowed me a couple of captures.

 

The caterpillar on the other hand prefer heather and heath.
