It is very similar to Zygaena purpuralis with which it forms a species complex and only separable by genital preparation or by the larval foodplant. The wingspan is 33–37 mm. It flies in June and July.The white-gray larvae feed on Pimpinella saxifraga and Eryngium species.
The species is only found in a few places in Denmark, and the population there is slowly declining. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blood Droplet Burnet is recorded against all the insects logged in Kazan (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
