These little guys' caterpillars feed on Birds-Foot Trefoil, which we have here in the garden. They and their foodplant are completely non-toxic, but they mimic the Cinnabar Moth which feeds on Ragwort and which, by concentrating the plant's poisons in it's own body, is highly toxic and is left alone by birds.

Interesting thanks for that information.
