Glasgow - Kelvindale moths
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.
