[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It looks like a butterfly and is called Zygaena filipendulae or Six Spot burnet moth.
It moves its wings very fast like a fly , this moth has poison in its blood, a 'present' for the attackers, these colours are very typical to poisonous insects in nature.

hi rimas,
very nice picture,
tfs

Ciao Rimas,
non credo che si tratti di Z. filipendulae, che ha appunto sei macchie rosse (six spot).
Forse è una Zygaena viciae, ma non ne sono sicuro.
Ciao,
Marcello
