• Caterpillars are the larval form of either moths or butterflies.
• Before pupating and then emerging as adults, caterpillars hatch from eggs that are usually laid on the host plant they will be feeding on.
• Caterpillars may have many host plants or may be found on one specific family of plants.
• Caterpillars hatch from eggs and can take a few weeks to a few months to complete their life cycle, depending on species
