Bear's or Wild garlic [Allium ursinum] is the host plant for the Durham Tinea [Acrolepiopsis betulella] caterpillar. The larval stage of the adult, false diamondback moth favors the plant's flowers and seedheads. But the plant serves as a food source to just the one generation that results from the moth's egg-laying every July. The insect's native range is central and Western Europe.

Leek [Allium porrum, A. ampeloprasum] is the host plant for the leek moth [Acrolepiopsis assectella] caterpillar. The insect may be found on the European continent, in the Siberian region of Asia, and on the Pacific Ocean islands of Hawaii. It's related to the false diamondback moth whose caterpillar stage feeds on wild or bear's garlic flowers and seedheads.
It sounds like bagworms. They do not turn into moths or butterflies and can damage on the host plant that they are on.
Depends upon the species, each type of caterpillar has its own host plant example: monarch caterpillars only eat milkweed. If you move a caterpillar from its specialized host plant it may die because it may not be able to find it's way back to the appropriate plant again.
Tinea pedis, commonly known as athlete's foot, is a parasitic symbiosis. It is a type of mutualism where the fungus benefits by living on the host's skin, while the host (person) is harmed by the infection.
It depends on what type of caterpillar it is and what it's host plant is. Caterpillars usually eat the leaves of the plant and not the flowers. For example a monarch butterfly caterpillar eats milkweed leaves. The yellow eastern swallowtail butterfly caterpillars eat fennels, dill weed, and parsley plants. The spicebush swallowtail caterpillars eat spicebush leaves. If you want to attract butterflies to your garden, you must plant the host plant that the butterflies will lay their eggs on.
leafs and have a twig for them to climb on
No. Eggs are in their abdomens and they lay their eggs either on or near their host plants. Host plants are the plants that the caterpillars eat. Each butterfly has its own specific species of plant or plants that it can eat as a caterpillar.

Some common host plants for butterflies include milkweed for monarchs, parsley for black swallowtails, and dill for eastern black swallowtails. Different butterfly species have specific host plant preferences for laying their eggs and feeding their caterpillars.
Most insects are plant specific. Monarch Butterflies eat milk weed. Tent caterpillars eat alder. Pine caterpillars eat (of course) pine trees despite the obnoxious pitch. You question has to be more specific.
