Five-and-a-half-Spot Burnet Moth?

Post by Matsukaze »

Two of these seen on Bathampton Down today. I think they are Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnets, but both of them appeared to have an extra spot in the centre, giving a total of eleven spots (not all visible in the picture).

It does look like a five spot. The 'spot' in the middle is the red underwing showing through.
