Red wings (Explored)

I saw this attractive insect while visiting Inisheer on the Aran Islands in Ireland. Does anyone know what it is?

Thanks, Dan. I didn't specify it correctly. It should say from the "family" Zygaenidae, "genus" Zygaena.

I think this is a BURNET MOTH (Zygaena) !

Beautiful! It's almost certainly a six-spot burnet Zygaena filipendulae (Zygaena carniolica is not right)! See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-spot_burnet
