Eating and excreting are ways that caterpillars are garden pests. Caterpillars represent the larval stages of such lepidopterans as butterflies and moths. Butterflies tend not to be garden pests in their any of their life cycle stages even though moth larval stages can wreak hazard among vegetation and in buildings.
