These colorfull caterpillars use the genus Senecio plant ( ragwort) as foodplants. The larvae absorb toxic and bitter tasting alkaloid substances from the foodplants becoming unpalatable themselves.
The bright colours of both the larvae and act as warning signs, so they are seldom eaten by predators.
Those colors! Just wow !
