Six Spot Burnet

Having a good feed on some knapweed! I posted a photo of the Five Spot Burnet here http://365project.org/julienne1/365/2015-06-24 - very similar except for the number of spots!

@woofandweft1 - I didn't until this year when I started looking them up more thoroughly! Apparently there are 5 other variations: Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet, Scotch Burnet, Slender Scotch Burnet, Transparent Burnet and the New Forest Burnet! Not seen any of those though....
