The black and red day flying moth among the green grass of a meadow

Zygaena fausta is a member of the family Zygaenidae, the day-flying burnet moths. Its bright aposematic colours of red, white and black on the wings indicate to possible predators such as birds that it is foul tasting or poisonous.

The Six-spot Burnet (Zygaena filipendulae) is a day-flying moth commonly found across Europe, particularly in meadows, grasslands, and coastal areas. Recognizable by its metallic blue-black wings marked with six vivid red spots on each forewing, it is often mistaken for a butterfly. Its bright coloration is a warning to predators, as the moth contains cyanogenic compounds that make it toxic if eaten. The caterpillars feed mainly on bird’s-foot trefoil, and the adults are frequently seen feeding on nectar from thistles and knapweed during summer.
