No, caterpillars hatch from tiny eggs that the moth or butterfly has laid. If you have a caterpillar in captivity and suddenly lots of babies appear, these come from eggs on the cabbage or whatever that the caterpillar has been feeding on.
A:I caught about 29 caterpillars from my cauliflowers and within about 8 days, about 9 caterpillars had lots of incy-wincy baby caterpillars like 25 per caterpillar. So I looked on the internet and many sites say that caterpillars are babies so how would they have babies?But then I found other sites and pictures on Google images called caterpillar babies on page 2 and they look similar to my caterpillar however they are supposed to die not long after the babies hatch and that's what mine have done. So in my opinion yes caterpillars do have babies and then they wrap them up in a silky webs. They hatch and parent dies.

There is no such thing as a baby butterfly, they are born as adults. here is the way it works.

The closest thing to a baby butterfly will be the Caterpillar.
