This is the moth referred to in yesterday's post http://levenshulmedailyphotograph.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/moth-trap.html. Not sure what the plant is, but it attracts the Six-spot Burnet in big numbers. They sometimes appear to have only 5 red spots as two of them often merge together. The forewings appear to be black at first sight, but are actually a dark metallic green http://butterfly-conservation.org/51-1540/six-spot-burnet.html
