Latin name: Zygaena filipendulae
The Six-spot Burnet moth is highly visible with its bright red spots on a black background.
The Six-spot Burnet contains cyanide and is poisonous to eat, however some birds do.
The larva of the Six-spot Burnet moth feed on Bird’s Foot Trefoil and produce a thin, papery looking cocoon.
