Caterpillars do not have teeth in the conventional sense. Instead, they have mouthparts called mandibles, which are used to chew and bite into their food, primarily leaves. These mandibles are often sharp and can be quite effective for their herbivorous diet. The number and structure of these mouthparts can vary among different species of caterpillars.
