It has a rather weak fluttering flight and interestingly, if disturbed, it will fall to the ground feigning death.

Six spot Burnet
One of our day flying moths the six spot Burnet is a most attractive metallic blue-green moth with six carmine-red spots on its wings.
It has a rather weak fluttering flight and interestingly, if disturbed, it will fall to the ground feigning death.
It certainly brightened up an otherwise grey day.
