Six spot Burnet

Todays caterpillar is that of the Six spot Burnet (Zygaena filipendulae): the Six spot Burnet is a day flying moth you'd certainly recognize from hot sunny days walking in grassland, it's the distinctive black one with red spots on its wings. You know the one. We saw several of these pulpy little fellows clinging to the stout grasses covering the ramparts at Badbury.
