| | | burnet moth
Can anyone tell me whether this is a five-spot burnet or a narrow-bordered five-spot burnet and at the same time how you tell the difference (sorry if it's easy to distinguist, I'm just not that good at this yet  )
Found tonight on a marshy meadow near me.

It's Narrow-bordered Five-spot. The middle pair of spots are separate - they're usually joined together in Five-spot. Also the wing tip is 'drawn out' slightly rather than being smoothly rounded.

Can anyone identify this moth. It appears to be a newly-emerged burnet moth of some sort (though I can't see any nearby chrysalis), but it doesn't match the appearance of any UK burnet moths I can find images of.
It's about 1.5cm long (not including antennae), and is in my conservatory in North Yorkshire this morning (4th May 2010). |

It's a Cinnibar Moth, not a Burnet.

That would explain why it doesn't look like a burnet moth!
Thanks Matt. | | |
