Reproductive benefits derived from defensive plant alkaloid possession in an arctiid moth (Utetheisa ornatrix)
The moth Utetheisa ornatrix (family Arctiidae) depends on pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) for defense. It sequesters the toxins as a larva from its food plants (Crotalaria species: family Fabaceae) and retains them through metamorphosis.
