Zygaena filipendulae – Six-spot Burnet moth

Delighted to find this striking day-flying moth also exists in my adoptive home country. See here for a photo: Seil Natural History Group – Zygaena filipendulae (Six-spot Burnet)

And these are my own three photos documenting the find on 16 July 2006 near Montana, Valais, Switzerland:

 
I photographed the beauty on a walk along the Bisse du torrent neuf near Montana (southern flank of the Swiss Alps).
