Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Cinnabar moth caterpillars on ragwort In the dunes at the Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes Nature Reserve http://www.lincstrust.org.uk/reserves/nr/reserve.php?mapref=41
The Moth http://www.arkive.org/species/ARK/invertebrates_terrestrial_and_freshwater/Tyria_jacobaeae/ lays eggs on ragwort leaves which are rich in alkaloid poisons. The caterpillars store the poison as they eat the leaves, which is passed on through to chrysalis and finally to butterfly. Predators such as birds soon learn not to eat them! |
