Sharp projections, sideways movement and stage-specific use count among the features that are special about a caterpillar's jaws. The lepidopteran larval stage is known for efficient, voracious consumption of plant tissues by way of mandibles on each side of the head meeting in the middle to cut and crush plant parts by way of sharp, tooth-like projections. A caterpillar represents the stage between the egg and the pupa, with the latter yielding to a butterfly or moth whose mouthparts, if they exist, lend themselves to siphoning and sipping, not biting, chewing, crushing or cutting.
