Humpito
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
