Danainae are a subfamily of Lepidoptera in the family Nymphalidae. There are approximately 300 species distributed worldwide.
The larvae feed on plants of the family Apocynaceae. These plants contain toxins that are part of the moths that feed on them. Both the larvae and adults have bright (aposematic) colors that advertise this toxicity to potential predators.
