The bright colours of both the larvae and the moths act as warning signs, so they are seldom eaten by predators. An exception is among different species of cuckoo which eat hairy and poisonous caterpillars including cinnabar moth larvae. [3] Females can lay up to 300 eggs, usually in batches of 30 to 60 on the underside of ragwort leaves.
