Another shot from Saturday morning.
The Narrow-Bordered Five-Spot Burnet (Zygaena lonicerae) is a moth of that can be found in most of Europe.

The wingspan is 30-46 mm. The moth flies during daytime from June to July depending on the location.

Thanks for looking

Most moths are pretty dull in color as they are nocturnal creatures but the ones you have posted recently are certainly very colorful and beautiful. Lovely soft lighting. Very well captured.
