The six-spot burnet (''Zygaena filipendulae'') is a day-flying moth of the family Zygaenidae. It is a common species throughout Europe. The sexes are similar and have a wingspan of . The fore wings are dark metallic green with six vivid red spots (sometimes the spots are merged causing possible confusion with other species such as the five-spot burnet). Occasionally, the spots are yellow or even black. The hind wings are red with a blackish fringe. The adults fly on hot, sunny days from June to August, and are attracted to a wide variety of flowers such as knapweed and scabious, as well as the larval food plants bird's foot trefoil and clover. The species overwinters as a larva. The larva is plump and hairy with variable markings, usually pale green with rows of black spots. It pupates in a papery cocoon attached to foliage. == Subspecies == *''Z. f. altapyrenaica'' Le Charles, 1950 *''Z. f. arctica'' Schneider, 1880 *''Z. f. balcanirosea'' Holik, 1943 *''Z. f. campaniae'' Rebel, 1901 *''Z. f. duponcheli'' Verity, 1921 *''Z. f. filipendulae'' *''Z. f. gemella'' Marten, 1956 *''Z. f. gemina'' Burgeff, 1914 *''Z. f. gigantea'' Rocci, 1913 *''Z. f. himmighofeni'' Burgeff, 1926 *''Z. f. liguris'' Rocci, 1925 *''Z. f. maior'' Esper, 1794 *''Z. f. mannii'' Herrich-Schaffer, 1852 *''Z. f. noacki'' Reiss, 1962 *''Z. f. oberthueriana'' Burgeff, 1926 *''Z. f. polygalae'' (Esper, 1783) *''Z. f. praeochsenheimeri'' Verity, 1939 *''Z. f. pulcherrima'' Verity, 1921 *''Z. f. pulcherrimastoechadis'' Verity, 1921 *''Z. f. pyrenes'' Verity, 1921 *''Z. f. seeboldi'' Oberthur, 1910 *''Z. f. siciliensis'' Verity, 1917 *''Z. f. stephensi'' Dupont, 1900 *''Z. f. stoechadis'' (Borkhausen, 1793) *''Z. f. zarana'' Burgeff, 1926 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Six-spot burnet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
