Altruistic behaviour or kin selection?

Description
Datana ministra caterpillars exhibit a bright, striped warning pattern to advertise their bad taste to predators. All the larvae in the group are likely to be the progeny of one egg mass from one adult female moth. The death of the one caterpillar it takes to teach a predator to avoid the pattern benefits the caterpillar's close kin.
