New Species - Six-spot Burnet
No picture unfortunately - the inconsiderate moth had disappeared in the time it took me to get my camera but it was a Six-spot Burnet. The vivid colours of this dayflying moth are a warning to predators that they are going to get poisoned. The meadow is starting to prove fruitful for new insect species after all.
