	Cinnabar Moth
		Previous attempts to establish cinnabar moth in Victoria have been unsuccessful due to heavy caterpillar mortality resulting from the combined effects of disease, insect predators and parasites.
		Cinnabar moth was first released in Tasmania during the spring and summer of 1993/94.
		If cinnabar moth can be established in Tasmania its flower and foliage feeding activities will place additional stress on ragwort and complement the activities of the other biological control agents.

	Plague Cause (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		However, during the Cinnabar boom in 1988, the huge number of caterpillars consumed not only all of the flowering plants, but when these were gone, they went on to hunt out and eat all of the first year rosettes as well ..
		Some Cinnabar moths survived or have occasionally blown over from the continent, but as our observations since 1996 have shown, the level of predation on the caterpillar, coupled with natural losses during pupation, can easily destroy a single moths offspring ‘in the wild’.
		Without the return of the Cinnabar in sufficient numbers to effectively predate the present large reserves of Ragwort, the plague is continuing its invasion unabated and unattenuated.

	Cinnabar moth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) is a brightly coloured arctiid moth, found in Europe and western and central Asia.
		The moth is named after the red mineral cinnabar because of the red patches on its predominantly fl wings.
		A survey is currently being undertaken in the UK as a part of National Insect Week.

		The cinnabar moth was introduced into New Zealand in 1929 for biological control of ragwort, after extensive host specificity testing to show that it did not pose a threat to any desirable plants.
		Extensive defoliation and defloration by cinnabar moth caterpillars may induce plants that would have died at the end of their second year to become perennial, as can happen with plants that have been mown.
		Cinnabar moth was first released between 1929 and 1932 on ragwort at many sites in Auckland, Taranaki, Nelson, and Southland.

		One of ragwort's traditional control agents is the caterpillar of the Cinnabar moth.
		The moth is a strong flyer and seeks out ragwort wherever it is growing.
		It is argued, also, that the brightly coloured moth is unlikely to cause outcry from the public as it goes about its natural cycle of survival in a way that is most beneficial to man. When used in conjunction with the ragwort flea beetle, which operates in a similar manner, exceptional results have been recorded.

		My only comment is to swing the moth to the LHS -head, with the heavy wings pointing to the RHS corner, drawing the eyes diagonally across the picture.

	Environmental fate and effects of Bt protein: Lit review \|
		Laboratory feeding studies, using foliage dipped in Btk solutions, were conducted to evaluate the effects of Btk on first through fifth instars of the cinnabar moth.
		The authors suggest that Btk may interfere with the biological control of tansy ragwort, however, most applications for western spruce budworm and gypsy moth occur when early instars of cinnabar moths are present.
		Therefore, it does not appear that transgenic plants expressing Bt toxins are likely to interfere with the cinnabar moths biological control of tansy ragwort.

		Exposure of native Senecio to the cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae), introduced for biological control of tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea)
		An internet-based Codling Moth Information Support System (CMISS) has recently been developed to support IPM implementation for the Codling Moth, Cydia pomonella L. CMISS is a comprehensive source of biological and management information on the codling moth.
		One explanation for this discrepancy appears to be that the cinnabar moth (while reducing plant fecundity) reduced both seed quantity and seed quality (measured as % germination under lab conditions), whereas plant competition and the flea beetle (while reducing survival to the adult stage) reduced only seed quantity.
