Arniocera erythropyga
This moth looks different than other burnets, mainly because of its colours.
Day-flying moth of the family Thyrididae. It is found in Zimbabwe and Malawi to Mozambique and South Africa.
Thank you Johan, I will add that link, it is a very helpful website. Thank you Matthijs. Thanks Karen, sadly I did not know about PN when I took all these pics in the Kruger, but I will get better shots in the near future. This moth just flew straight into me... and with those colors.... how could I not take pics!
Beautiful! A close relative to the Six-Spot Burnet (Zygaena filipendulae)!
