Ragwort

This is the Ragwort outside our kitchen window.....




It has Cinnabar Moth larvae feeding on it.....


The moth is named after the red mineral cinnabar because of the red patches on its predominantly black wings. Cinnabar moths have a wingspan of 32-42 mm (1.3-1.7 in). Cinnabar moths are day-flying insects. Like many other brightly coloured moths, it is poisonous; More specifically,
the most poisonous species of moth in Britain.
