Description
Small moth from family Zygaenidae (Burnets). Maximum wingspan is 35 mm but usually it's about 30 mm. It's quite easy to identify this species: the spot at the edge of wings has a axe shape. No one Burnets is similar to this species.
The right one moth is quite special for me: all others Burnets I've seen have black wings but this moth is almost gold! I hope you'll like it.

Flying time
Whole Zygaenidae family are day-flaying moths. This species starts to fly the end of June and is still on the wings to the middle od August.

Caterpilar foodlplants
Coronilla varia L.
Hippocrepis comosa L.
Lotus corniculatus L.
Trifolium L.

Witaj Krzysztofie
Swietne kolory ma ten motylek z krasnikowatych. Widzialam go tylko raz. Podoba mi się ujecie. Ten na pierwszym planie jest ostry, zatem widac szczegoly jego budowy. Roslina, na ktorej siedza motyle wyglada efektownie mimo,że jest w fazie gubienia kwiatów.
Gratuluje i pozdrawiam - Roma

Witaj Krzysztofie,
Bardzo udane zdjecie, chociaz DOF jest krotki przy f/3.5 tu akurat nic nie przeszkadza. Bardzo pasuje tonalnie BG.
Pozdrawiam, Pawel
P.S. Wyczytalem, ze jestes specjalista w zakresie motyli. Umiescilem ostatnio na TN z rodziny Zygaenidae ale nie wiem. czy poprawnie oznaczyłem.

Hello again Chris,
An excellent capture of Z. minos, a very rare species in Sweden. The technical qualities and the composition are great and the capture of a bronze-coloured aberration is a special bonus!
Thanks for posting this one!
Regards,
Ivan
