Not hard to spot
I don't see these often, but you can't miss them when they are around.
It is a moth called six-spot burnet (Zygaena filipendulae), sint-jansvlinder in Dutch:

Thanks for watching!
nice...
I have photos of this butterfly from South Bohemia this July, but was not easy to take photo. I am not satisfied with the result.
Your photo is perfect.
Thank you.
Darth Vader of the insect world.
Excellent details - and superb bokeh on top of it all :)
The colors are really vivid, almost glowing :) A moth as a pretty as a butterfly? That's Superman in the insect world :)
Beautiful as always! @ocrdu
WOW!!! That is stunning shots
The colours are amazing. What an attractive moth :)
Now that has some striking colors, I don't recall ever seeing them.
Very nice close-up shots ... life is so complex! Cant have happened all by accident.
