The walnut caterpillar is closely related to the yellownecked caterpillar. Its favorite food trees are pecan, hickory, walnut, and butternut. Walnut caterpillars, like the yellownecked, feed in colonies, moving from branch to branch. Young larvae are red to purplish with white longitudinal stripes; fully grown larvae are black, 2 to 2¼ inches long, and covered with long white hairs. Two caterpillar broods occur each year, one in late May and June, and one in late summer (mid-July through September).

Yes, they typically feast gratuitously on leaves or grass, but usually leaves. The kind of leaf depends on the species you're referring to, but if you find one in the wild it's probably safe to assume they eat leaves from the types of trees that grow where you found it.

What to feed a baby caterpiller?

you feed caterpillars leafs, not a regular leaf, it depends on the species of caterpillars for example, a silk worm (caterpillar, and its the white kind, not the other kind) eats fruitless mulberry trees leafs, only! and tomato worms (caterpillar) can eat bell pepper leafs and manly tomato leafs and they are ONE kind that can eat different leafs, but not all. If they are not eating any of the food you are giving them then you should try leaves from some of these plants oak, willow, cherry, poplar, birch, apple or alder. If this doesn't work try dandlions or clover since this is where you can usually find larvae. If all else fails then just try some apple or carrot.


What kind of plants do tent caterpillars eat?

Pretty much destroy them if left unchecked. The tents can be as big as a duffel bag, a huge cocoon, and the adults feed like crazy and ravish the leaves. If you have a safe area to do so, take the whole cocoon down and burn it, then spray the tree with whatever your nurseryman advises for your area. Left unchecked, the new caterpillars will destroy a whole stand of trees.
