if your a plant then no! however many insects have a black colouration from melonin. the degree of "blackness" often shows its condition as a honest signal to potential mates but as caterpillars are a life stage that does not mate this will not be the case and may be a signal to would be prarsites. Usually harmful insects will have brightly coloured "skin" if they are dangerous and this is a sign to potential predators of such danger. Caterpillars are however of no harm to humans. if your a plant then no! however many insects have a black colouration from melonin. the degree of "blackness" often shows its condition as a honest signal to potential mates but as caterpillars are a life stage that does not mate this will not be the case and may be a signal to would be prarsites.

What does a moth symbolize in a dream?

To dream of a white moth, foretells unavoidable sickness, though you will be tempted to accuse yourself or some other with wrong-doing, which you think causes the complaint. For a woman to see one flying around in the room at night, forebodes unrequited wishes and disposition which will effect the enjoyment of other people. To see a moth flying and finally settling upon something, or disappearing totally, foreshadows death of friends or relatives.
