Some Burnets Zygaena from SW Bulgaria #Moths #Zygaena #Burnets #teammoth

Woodland burnet, Zygaena osterodensis , a good example of aposematic colour signalling - I taste bad.

Bad taste pays off, here exemplified by two Woodland Burnets, Zygaena osterodensis. Their black and red colours is a aposematic signal - "I'm poisonus" or "I taste very bad".
