English: Ragwort and woods near Abermawr A fine stand of this much-maligned plant. Ragwort (Senecio jacobae) has received an enormous amount of condemnation from the horseloving community on account of its toxicity; in fact much of the negative publicity is based on myth and misinformation and its destruction usually does more harm than good (see http://www.ragwortfacts.com/)
Ragwort is a foodplant for around 30 insect species and others are attracted by its nectar. This particular clump was host to Painted Lady and Small Copper butterflies, honey and other bees, hoverflies and many more.
