A Moth

[dave-newman]

i believe its a Five-Spot Burnet Moth, taken last night when out for Deers

and you got all of its six spots.

Brilliant example of what modern technology can reproduce in the right hands.

Thanks for posting.

Nature is beautiful isn't it.

im sure its a 5, with the wings closed the 5th spot is tucked to the right and left of the top red spot. So when the wings open it shows 5...

here to be stood corrected though.

Six - https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/zyga ... ipendulae/

Five - https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/zygaena-lonicerae/

Five gets my vote.

[dave-newman]

yeah, i looked at those.

Spots are round, there are three on each wing.
You dont count the others, they are blotches.
Thats what I was taught when I studied Lepidoptera.
