Caterpillars eat their own silk for several reasons: it provides a source of nutrition, especially during times when food is scarce. The silk can also help them create a protective environment for themselves, aiding in their growth and development. Additionally, consuming silk may help caterpillars recycle nutrients and support their metamorphosis into butterflies or moths.
