I'm quite far from being a Zygaenidae expert, anyway I believe Igor is absolutely right. This is male in the photo. If my sclerosis doesn't fool me, pruni has yellow (reduced) proboscis whilst other "greens" don't. Seems yellow here. Plus pruni is rather to be blue than green, what we also can see. :)

Just check Zygaenidae on Savchuk's website "Crimean lepidoptera" :)

Alexandr, sadly Vladimir's website is designed so that giving links to some pages is a tough thing...

Igor, there are 10 more species in the Crimea, so-called "green" Zygaenidae. Check Savchuk's website http://www.lepidoptera.crimea.ua/frame.htm, I'm not sure what's this species, fits 3 but a few :)

This is probably Rhagades pruni ?
