Two main orders of insects are involved: the Danainae of North America and the Ithomiinae of South America.
Both larvae and adults of the Danainae may consume food plants with pyrrolizidine alkaloids, but only adult Ithomiinae are able to obtain the alkaloids.
In addition to the use of pyrrolizidine alkaloids as protective chemicals, species of three groups of Lepidoptera (Danainae, Ithomiinae, and Arctiidae) biosynthise pheromones from the alkaloids that they acquire from plants, often during larval feedling.

There are four major clades within Nymphalidae, the danaine clade (subfamily Danainae), the satyrine clade (which includes the subfamilies Charaxinae, Satyrinae, Calinaginae and Morphinae), the heliconiine clade (including Heliconiinae and Limenitidinae excluding Biblidini, Cyrestini, Pseudergolini, and Coeini) and the nymphaline clade (including Nymphalinae, Apaturinae, and Coeini, Cyrestini, Pseudergolini, and Biblidini from the Limenitidinae).
The danaine clade is the most basal group and the heliconiine and nymphaline are sister groups.
