Most species of caterpillars each have their own specific host plant and will not eat anything but that one type of plant, although there are a few types that will eat several different host plants, but not many. For example, Monarch caterpillars will not eat anything but milkweed plants, Gulf Frittilaries will not eat anything except passionflower. If they do not have access to their particular type of host plant they will not eat anything else and they will starve and die.
