Zygaena filipendulae

Six-Spot Burnet Moth

Wingspan 30-38 mm.

This is the commonest of Britain's day-flying Burnet moths, and is found throughout Britain, with a coastal bias in the North.

Occupying meadows, woodland clearings and sea-cliffs, it flies from June to August.

He was difficult to photograph as he was a little camera shy and legged it whenever he saw me coming.
