At least in the Netherlands the family of this moth is called 'blood drops'. It's Zygaena filipendulae.

Thank you Frank. We have several species of this genus in Europe, so probably I will try to shoot some of the others too. They tend to be not very quick, so one can approach them quite easilly....
