What is the mode of feeding in caterpillars?
Chewing of plant matter is the commonest method, but some insects such as the much loved Lady Beetles, get by by sucking the juices from a plant. The larval stage of others, attach themselves to the root of a plant, only to emerge when they are ready to emerge from the chrysalis - such as Cicadias.
How do chrysalises attach to a leaf?
The caterpillar spins a button of silk and hangs in a J shape then starts to make the chrysalis"
Are butterflies born alive?
Butterflies lay eggs and attach them to leaves. When the egg hatches, a caterpillar emerges. The caterpillar will shed it's skin numerous times as it grows, until eventually it turns into a pupa or chrysalis by attaching itself to a leaf and shedding it's skin for the final time. This is the stage where metamorphosis takes place. Having reached it's adult stage, a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
What do larva turn into?
Metamorphosis is the series of developmental stages insects go through to become adults. Butterflies and moths have four stages of life: egg, larva (the caterpillar stage), pupa (the chrysalis phase), and adult. When it is ready, the caterpillar will find a suitable place and attach itself to a leaf with a sticky substance. This substance hardens to become the chrysalis (similar to a cocoon). The caterpillar sheds its exoskeleton for the last time. After 1-2 weeks, a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
How do you remove tent caterpillars if you cannot reach them with a ladder?

How long does it take for a caterpillar to be a butterfly?
Actually the butterfly egg comes before the caterpillar. The adult butterfly lays eggs which hatch out in about 3-7 days. The young caterpillars start off eating and basically don't stop for 2-3 weeks. They grow tremendously during this time and will increase their body mass by a few thousand times. Caterpillars grow so much that they will shed their exoskeleton several times. Some caterpillars actually change their appearance considerably from one molting to the next. Once the caterpillars have grown big enough (usually about 2-3 weeks) they will be ready for their final molt that will reveal the chrysalis. Some of the butterfly features will actually be starting to form in their bodies as they prepare to pupate (become a chrysalis or pupa).When the caterpillar is ready to shed its exoskeleton for the last time it will find a place on a stem or branch and attach itself by spinning its own silk. Most caterpillars will hang upside down but a few (Swallowtails) will attach along side of a stem and use a silk sling to hold themselves in place. After the caterpillar is firmly attached, about 24 hours later it will wiggle like crazy and shed its exoskeleton revealing the chrysalis beneath. Although the chrysalis appears to be motionless, inside tremendous activity is taking place. The caterpillar anatomy is being chemically disassembled and reconstructed into the adult butterfly. Amazing! In about 1-2 weeks the adult butterfly will be ready to emerge.

What extensive network of smooth or rough membranes which transport materials through cells?
These membranes are call the E.R. (endoplasmic reticalum) for short. The rough E.R. are there so ribosome can attach to them and produce protein. The smooth ones dont allow ribosomes to attach
