Hi,
Whilst out walking this summer, I spotted this species. Never seen it before and cant find anything similar from googling etc. Would appreciate some pointers.

Many Thanks.

Hi Lee,

Looks like a Five-Spot Burnet moth. See http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=396

Cheers,

Wow, thanks for the speedy response. That is the one.

Reading the notes looks like it is not usually found in the Manchester area, more common in the South West and Wales.

Thanks for the info.

Lee.

There are two five-spot burnets and yours is the Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet Zygaena lonicerae.
