ton, Fife, Perth, York, Falmouth, and many others. 
The perfect insect appears in May and June. 
The caterpillar is dull golden yellow with black rings, 
each colour alternating, the head black; it is sprinkled 
over with short hairs. 
The date of the appearance of the caterpillar is in 
July and from that to August. 
It feeds on the ragwort (Senecio Jacobcea). They 
generally are found in companies, and several often on 
the same plant, which may be seen quite eaten bare by 
them. 
This moth flies in the day-time, but slowly and languidly.
