[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This couple i catch in a woodland on a marguerite..
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 Rimantas,
the moths don't have six spots though and I thought six-spot burnets were black with red spots!
Anyway, a great shot that has excellant clarity and detail.
Well done,
Joey

Hi Rimantas,
I wonder how many other courting couples have been put on the inernet for thousands to observe! Well, at least you have given them an excellent photograph by which to be viewed! The p.o.v, colours, detail and sharp focus are all excellent!
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Rimantas,

A great color composition of green yellow and reds. The elements of the scene are well seperated by the colors. The sharpness is also very high.
Good, thorough, description of motive and photo treatment.
