Comparing the size and size-relation within the wing, I would still tend to Viciae. The longer I am looking at it, the more I am getting confused...

I was just to ask that, I am really finding a hard time to exclude lonicerae from any other zygaena, but bayucca is the god here so i didn't :D

What about Zygaena trifolii or Zygaena lonicerae? Can you exclude them, bayucca?

Counting was the easy part in this one ;-)...
I have a great respect with IDing Zygaena, sometimes "easy", sometimes a nightmare. I would be happy if you just check Viciae yourself.

I only can see 5 spots. In my eyes this one is Zygaena viciae. Please, verify!!
