Six-Spot Burnet Close-up

Found this little guy chilling out on a flower, down at the sand dunes at Refsnes beach. the Norwegian name for this creature is Blood Droplet Swarmer (directly translated).
This butterfly can actually survive a bird attack, it uses hydrocyanic acid for defence.
(just look, dont eat)
