Thanks to DanielePralong for finding a link which provides criteria for distinguishing Z. lonicerae and Z. trifolii, and it seems that unless you raise the species from a larva, it is nearly impossible to ID to species. http://britishlepidoptera.weebly.com/171...

Zygaena trifolii is also a similar species, but please verify!
