The five spot burnet! This is a really cool moth, under strong light its wings reflect blueish green :o they're so pretty! Especially their antennae have a very unique shape :) Unlike most moths these guys like coastal and cliff areas, and are found mainly in Europe

Femplettet køllesværmer (Zygaena lonicerae)

Femplettet køllesværmer er en dagaktiv sværmer i køllesværmer-familien (Zygaenidae). Der er flere lignende arter.

Larverne, som har overvintret, kommer frem i det sene forår, og i løbet af maj æder de sig store i kløver (Trifolium). Fra midt maj til starten af juni forpupper larverne sig i karakteristike gule til brune, teltagtige pupper på græsstrå og halvhøje urter. På egnede lokaliteter kan der på den måde være i hundredevis af pupper, som lyser gult i vegetationen.

I løbet af et par uger udvikler larven inde i puppen sig til den voksne køllesværmer, og i løbet af de næste par uger myldrer det med køllesværmere, som sidder en tid og tørrer vinger, inden de påbegynder søgningen efter føde og en mage. Ofte benytter en han sig af, at hunnen skal skal vente på, at hendes vinger tørrer, til at påbegynde parringen.

I nogle dage endnu bliver de voksne køllesværmere på lokaliteten, hvor de ofte sidder i småflokke på strå og blomster, inden de spreder sig ud i det omkringliggende område i søgen efter tidsler (Carduus) og andre kilder til nektar.

Narrow-bordered five-spot burnet (Zygaena lonicerae)

The Narrow-bordered five-spot burnet is a diurnal moth in the family Zygaenidae). Several similar species.

The larvae or caterpillars, having wintered, emerge mid to late spring, and during May they gorge themselves on clover (Trifolium) in their final instar. From mid-May till early June the caterpillars pupate in characteristic, yellow to brown, tent-like pupae on straws and weeds. In suitable locations, hundreds of these pupae  are like small, yellow lights in the vegetation.

During a couple of weeks, the pupating caterpillar developes into the adult moth, and over the next weeks scores of  Narrow-bordered five-spot burnets emerge. They sit for a while, letting their wings dry, and the start searching for food and a mate. Often, a male will seize the chance to start mating a female moth waiting for her wings to properly unfold and dry.

For a few more days, the burnets stay at the site, often gathered in small groups on straws and flowers. Then they scatter in the surrounding area in search for new sources of nectar, often thistle (Carduus).

What does this strikingly black and red coloured moth say to you? Eat me? Or, don’t touch me because I am poisonous? It should say the latter! Because bright, contrasting colours like this are aposematic. They are universal warning colours which apply throughout the animal kingdom; and if you…
