Zygaena filipendulae
It's a day-flying moth. The sexes are similar and have a wingspan of 30–40 millimetres (1.2–1.6 in). The forewings are dark metallic green with 6 vivid red spots (sometimes the spots are merged causing possible confusion with other species such as Five-spot Burnet). (Wikipedia)
It is a common species throughout Europe.

You can add a little description on the plant (Common Lungwort) and then add it to the mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7740...
