Zygaena angelicae

Zygaena angelicae (slender Scotch burnet)[1] is a species of moth in the Zygaenidae family.

It is found in Central Europe, from Greece to southern Germany and Thuringia.

In the five-spotted individuals, the spots on the underside of the wings are connected by a red stripe, in the six-spotted ones this is a large patch.

The larvae feed on Coronilla coronata and sometimes Securigera varia and possibly Lotus corniculatus.

In Southeastern Europe Zygaena angelicae is found in mountainous regions between 1000 and 2100m elevation.
