- This were collected in Chodos( Castellón) in the end of july /2008.
I have to say that watching this moths for the first at only 1 hour from my home was one of the biggest thinngs to me talking about Lepidoptera.
As the other Lepidoptera that I have shown only flies in Spain,is suposed to be an endangered specie but their colonies have very high number of specimens. - 20220622_193701~2.jpg (599.88 KiB) Viewed 1628 times

Burnet moths are always stunning !
This particular reddish-orange species I'll bet
really "pops" in the sunlit spaces one may find it in.
