A caterpillar primarily eats by using its strong mandibles, which are specialized mouthparts that allow it to chew through leaves and other plant material. It typically consumes large quantities of foliage to fuel its rapid growth, using its sharp jaws to bite and shred the leaves into smaller pieces. This process is essential for the caterpillar to accumulate energy and nutrients needed for its metamorphosis into a butterfly or moth.
