6 spot Burnet Moth: Ocypus olens Mueller

Of the 6 spot Burnet Moth. Wing span 3-4 cm
captured this morning along the Exe Estuary

You're right - a VERY nice close up. Well caught, Chocky. I've never seen one of these, but I now know EXACTLY what they look like :)

Thank you :)
There is a couple I uploaded a week or so ago but not quite as close. Some body I know and met along the estuary was walking her dog , held the plant it was on because of the wind so I was quite lucky here.
What I must do is check it's size and edit it in later

Very nice closeup Chocky. :)

Thank you :)
