What kind of plant does a catepiller eat?

Answer 1

Most insects are plant specific. Monarch Butterflies eat milk weed. Tent caterpillars eat alder. Pine caterpillars eat (of course) pine trees despite the obnoxious pitch.

You question has to be more specific.

Answer 2

1. The plants that caterpillars eat are called host plants while the plants that adult butterflies eat (actually they "drink") are called nectar plants.
2. Each species of butterflies has specific host plants on which the adult butterflies lay their eggs.
3. The butterflies are particular about the plant they lay eggs on because their caterpillars must have that specific host plant to survive.
4. The caterpillar will not eat if it does not have access to its specific host plants and thus it will die.

Answer 3

Caterpillars generally feed on the leaves of plants, with preferences varying depending on the species of caterpillar. Some common plant types that caterpillars eat include milkweed, parsley, dill, and clover.

Answer 4

Caterpillars eat leaves from plants. It depends on what type of caterpillar it is though, because different caterpillars eat different leaves.

Answer 5

leaves plants vegetables weeds grass

loads of natural things but NOT animals
