The Narrow-Bordered Five-Spot Burnet (Zygaena lonicerae)
Zygaena lonicerae have a wingspan of 30–46 millimetres (– in). The forewings reach a length of 16–19 millimetres (– in) in the females, while they are slightly smaller in males. The forewings usually show five crimson to vermilion spots and a black basic color, with a strong bluish or blue-green reflection. The third spot is smaller than the fourth one. Head, thorax and abdomen are black and moderately to strongly hairy. The antennae are long and slender and slightly clavate and tapered. The females are similar to males, but the top of the front wing is slightly rounded and the abdomen and the thorax are less hairy. However this species is very variable. Usually the moth populations in Alpine areas are much larger, while those from southern Europe are darker.
