Caterpillars are larval form of the order Lepidoptera. Caterpillars eat plants called host plants, while the adult butterflies drink nectar plants. If caterpillars don't have access to their specific host plant, they wont eat anything and thus they will die.
To effectively protect your kale plants from caterpillars, you can use natural remedies like neem oil or insecticidal soap, plant companion plants like marigolds, or cover the plants with a fine mesh netting to prevent caterpillars from reaching them. Regularly inspecting your plants for caterpillars and removing them by hand can also help control the infestation.

To sample an area for caterpillars, you can use a method called "beat sampling." This involves shaking branches or foliage over a white sheet or collecting tray to dislodge caterpillars, which will fall onto the surface. Additionally, you can visually inspect plants, particularly host plants known to attract caterpillars, and look for signs of feeding damage or frass (caterpillar droppings). Taking samples at various times of the day and in different habitats can provide a more comprehensive assessment of caterpillar populations.
Different caterpillars eat various things. Most eat the leaves of plants, a few eat the eggs of insects, aphids, scale insects or ant larvae. Some eat other caterpillars.
