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.
