Cinnabar Moth caterpillars (Tyria jacobaeae) feeding from Common Ragwort (Jacobaea vulgaris) at Kelvindale. Cinnarbar Moth caterpillars can often be spotted on ragwort, their most preferred food source. The bright colouring of the Cinnabar Moth caterpillar acts as a warning to potential predators by indicating that they are poisonous. The poison can only build up in the caterpillar by feeding from ragwort.

The Garden Tiger (Arctia caja) is a moth from the family Erebidae. The garden tiger has a fluffy red/orange body, brown-and white-patterned forewings, and bright red hindwings with four or five large black spots. Once quite a common moth over most of Britain, it seems to have suffered considerable declines in many places since the 1980s. Photo taken by David Palmar as part of a moth trapping session at the Scottish Entomologists' Gathering in Dundreggan.
