I'm not even sure why I put Marsh Fritillary there. <br />As for the moth, I haven't done much research about it since I'm going to try to take better shots of this bug in summer. You're right it's a Six-spot Burnet (Zygaena filipendulae).Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704814568338085726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723119654534614396.post-69468799466055047042013-03-10T03:47:25.733+01:002013-03-10T03:47:25.733+01:00Your butterfly is a Speckled Wood.

I love bugs, too, especially dragonflies and butterflies, so I hope I'll take more bug pictures in the future.

It's too bad that your wonderful pictorial wasn't there for me to show them yesterday. I guess, I'll have to tell them about your website, as they live a state away (in Arkansas). So, you might just have a couple of little visitors to your site.<br />As you know, I love bugs!The Book of Drachmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402293433544594442noreply@blogger.com
