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-lonicerae-narrow-bordered-five-spot-burnet.html

Zygaena trifolii is also a similar species, but please verify! http://www.leps.it/images/Zygaenidae/InLeZyZyTrA0001.JPG
