Narrow Bordered 5-spot Burnet Moth, Zygaena lonicerae.
The 5-spot version is supposedly fairly common but I encounter the 6-spot version much more frequently. The 5-spots seem to be very localised - I know of just two sites near me where I can see them.
There were two of them on this field scabious flower sharing it with a small bee and a pollen beetle.
My 'extra' shows them trying to mate.
