[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A brightly-coloured – and poisonous – day-flying moth.

Bold red spots on metallic green-black forewings; mainly red hindwings; heavy black body.
Very noticeable from June to early August in slow buzzing flight as they cruise around visiting food plants.
Bodies contain cyanide derivatives formed by the caterpillar from its foodplant and passed on to adults.

Eggs laid in groups on the leaves of Birdsfoot Trefoil.
Caterpillars are pale yellow with black markings.
Chysalis forms in papery boat-shaped cocoons attached to plant stems.

Hello Dan, great picture! Wonderful colors and composition, you had a perfect POV, great macro and BG.. Congratulations!

Hello Dan !
There are very similiar moth in the meadows near my house, and they are so beautiful, particularly when they fly and when you can see the red hind wings. Excellent details and beautiful composition, nice colors. maybe I would have chosen another color for the frame, I don't like this red too much, but it's just my opinion and it's still a great shot. Very well done !
Valerie.

The colours are most eye-catching!
And for once the flower is dominating the insect...
Well composed presentation, good details and well done on the macro work!
