The Fire Grid Burnet ("Arniocera erythropyga") is a day-flying moth of the family Zygaenidae. It is found in Zimbabwe and Malawi to Mozambique and South Africa.

This moth looks different than other burnets, mainly because of its colours. The common name of this moth refers to its forewing pattern of black-edged, red bands on a metallic blue-green ground colour. The hindwing is pinkish red with a broad, marginal band of black. Males have hairs covering their head.
