Caterpillars do not bite in the same way that some insects do, as they lack biting mouthparts. However, some species have tiny, hook-like structures that can cause irritation or a pinching sensation if handled. Additionally, certain caterpillars have defensive mechanisms, such as venomous spines, that can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation. It's best to avoid handling unfamiliar caterpillars to prevent potential discomfort.
