The six-spot burnet (Zygaena filipendulae) is a day-flying moth of the family Zygaenidae. It is a common species throughout Europe.\nThe sexes are similar and have a wingspan of 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in). The fore wings are dark metallic green with six vivid red spots (sometimes the spots are merged causing possible confusion with other species such as thefive-spot burnet). Occasionally, the spots are yellow or even black. The hind wings are red with a blackish fringe. The adults fly on hot, sunny days from June to August,[Note 1] and are attracted to a wide variety of flowers such as knapweed and scabious, as well as the larval food plants bird's foot trefoil and clover. The species overwinters as a larva.\nThe larva is plump and hairy with variable markings, usually pale green with rows of black spots. It pupates in a papery cocoon attached to foliage (source Wikipedia).

Scented geraniums are tender perennials that are grown as herbaceous annuals. Although scented geraniums can have beautiful flowers, they are primarily grown for their aromatic foliage. When brushed with the hand or rubbed between thumb and forefinger, the leaves emit a strong scent. There are many hybrids, available in commerce. Most scented geraniums have clusters of small pale pink to white 5-petaled flowers that bloom in summer. Most have lobed green leaves.
