}} Zygaena transalpina is a moth of the family Zygaenidae. SubspeciesSubspecies include:[1]{{div col}}
DistributionThis species can be found from Germany to Croatia and Italy and from Spain to Austria and Slovenia.[2][3] It is more frequent at more than 2000 meters of altitude in the Alps, especially in the Italian Alps and in Italy, with the exception of Sicily and the Adriatic coast.[4] HabitatThis moth occurs in warm, dry climates, particularly on dry meadows, but also on flowering grasslands at higher elevations. DescriptionThe wingspan o Zygaena transalpina can reach about {{convert|29|-|35|mm}}.[5] The forewings are of a shining bluish green, or of a blue black, with three pairs of carmine-red spots for each wing (in some individuals of both sexes, the spots are only five ). The two spots on the base are oval. The hind wings are carmine red, with a black blue border and a slightly darker fringe. The underside of the forewings is light black blue, usually with the same spots as the top. It is an aposematic species because its warning colors signal it as toxic to predators such as birds and lizards. In case of attack it emits a liquid containing cyanide. This species is very similar to Zygaena filipendulae. They can be distinguished by the color of the apex of the antennae (whitish and are more sharp in Z. transalpina, black in Z. filipendulae).[6] Moreover, in Z. transalpina, the spot 6, when present, is clearly separated from stain 5 and even the spot 3 and 4 are more distant than in Z. filipendulae.[7] BiologyAdults are on wing from the end of May to August in one generation per year.[5] The larvae feed on the leaves of Hippocrepis comosa and sometimes Coronilla varia and Lotus corniculatus.[5] Larvae can be found from August, after overwintering, to June of the following year.
