on milkweed especially milkweed in open fields or by roadsides
Some butterflies such as the Monarch, eat poisonous plants as caterpillars, resulting in the butterfly being toxic. Insect eaters like birds seem to know not to eat these butterflies. Monarchs are most likely poisonous to some extent in dogs.
Different caterpillars eat different things. Most caterpillars eat leaves and stuff and need to be sprayed with water. Monarch caterpillars eat milkweed plants and eat a lot of it! If you have any caterpillars they might eat leaves that you pick from your back yard! MAKE sure you spray them!

It is a good idea to take some caterpillars and raise them to be adult butterflies. Especially if it is a monarch caterpillar. But make sure you identify the caterpillar before you do.
It depends upon the species of caterpillar. Monarch butterfly caterpillars eat milkweed. Gulf Fritillary caterpillars eat only passionvine. Many moth caterpillars can eat several types of plants. Butterflies are the most particular. They can eat only very limited species of plants. Without those plants, they will starve. Harvester butterfly caterpillars are 'meat' eaters; they eat aphids. Some caterpillars are cannibals and will eat other caterpillars off and on, but not as their primary diet.
