The cinnabar moth is a brightly coloured day-flying moth with red and black wings. It is native to Europe and parts of Asia, and it has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia and North America. Its bright colours warn predators that it is poisonous.1

Giftig deur 'n byt of steek, of giftig om aan te raak of te eet? Sommige diere spuit gif in met 'n byt of 'n steek. Ander is skadelik om aan te raak of te eet. Hierdie een is giftig om aan te raak of te eet.

Leef in

Native to Europe, western and central Asia, east to Siberia and China. Introduced to New Zealand, Australia and North America.1

Europa, Asië

Tuis

The moth lives where its food plant, ragwort, grows. It was introduced to New Zealand, Australia and North America to control ragwort. Its caterpillars can be seen out in the open during the day, feeding on ragwort.1

Lengte

2 cm tot 3 cm (0,8 in tot 1,2 in)1

Topspoed

omtrent 9 km/h (5,6 mph)

Vlieënd, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

The caterpillars feed on ragwort, and sometimes on other Senecio plants such as groundsel. They absorb toxic, bitter-tasting alkaloids from the plant, which makes them unpalatable to predators. Large numbers can strip a patch of ragwort clean.1

As iemand daaraan geraak of dit geëet het

As iemand dit geëet het of simptome kry nadat hy dit geëet het: bel dadelik jou noodnommer of 'n gifsentrum.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As jy daaraan geraak of dit geëet het: moenie jou oë of mond vryf nie, was jou hande en kry mediese hulp.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Sy gif is net daar sodat niks dit eet nie. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

The caterpillars can turn cannibalistic, mainly when food is short, and will eat other cinnabar caterpillars.1

Cuckoos are an exception to the moth's protection, as some species eat its hairy, poisonous caterpillars.1

The moth was used as a biocontrol agent against ragwort, working alongside the Tansy ragwort flea beetle in the western United States.1

Very few caterpillars usually survive to the pupal stage, because they can eat their food plant bare before they mature.1

Evidence suggests the Brown long-eared bat preys on this moth.1

The caterpillars overwinter as cocoons on the ground.1
