Some animals, such as sea turtles and caterpillars, are born being able to fend for themselves. Through instinct, the caterpillar knows what to eat and what not to eat, and cameoflauge usually takes care of predators. Also, many species of butterfly migrate, such as the monarch. Caterpillars can't fly, so the mother would have to carry it with her if she took care of it. That task would prove to be very difficult. Caterpillars are capable of living on their own, and this lifestyle saves the mother a lot of trouble. For this reason, caterpillars raise themselves.
