The picture below shows the caterpillar of cinnabar moth. The ragwort plants on which the caterpillars feed contain alkaloid poisons. As they eat the leaves, the caterpillars store the poison and this is passed from caterpillar to pupa and finally to the imago/adult. The caterpillars have alternating orange and black bands down their bodies which are highly visible to other organisms. This type of adaptation is called as:

1.	Cryptic colouration	2.	Aposematic colouration
3.	Batesian mimicry	4.	Mullerian mimicry
