Most caterpillars eat plant material. There are a few exceptions, for instance the Large Blue butterfly caterpillar eats red ant's eggs and larvae for up to 3 weeks after coming out of hibernation and pupating.

One should be careful about touching these beasties, because some of them protect themselves with substances that are really bad for you.

Just that- you have a white caterpillar! No need to move under a rock anytime soon. :)

by definition, all caterpillars will undergo metamorphosis into a moth or butterfly. all species of living things evolve, which is an entirely different biological process. evolution occurs during the course of many generations; no single individual undergoes evolution.

Moths, like all arthropods, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

That depends on the Moth, ask someone at your local Natural History Museum for more information

No. They will drown. ( Trust me this answer is positive i tried it. Did NOT turn out good).

most caterpillars eat leaves. it depends on what species the caterpillar is but most of the eat gumtree leaves or eucalyptus tree leaves!!

it is from December 1 until November 30th.

Horned caterpillars

A tent caterpillar is an example of a caterpillar that will be found in trees. The insect in question (Malacosoma spp) spends the larval stage developing and feeding inside unsightly webs which they build on tree branches.

What a brown caterpillar eats

sometimes they eat leaves or fruit if you find a caterpillar and you keep it you should give it leaves from the plant (tree) you found it on. But generally they eatbrwon caterpillar food:-)

The Rusty Tussock Moth or Vapourer, Orgyia antiqua

It will eather die in its cacoon or stay a catterpiller

I was actually stung by a woolly bear caterpillar. I came in contact with the caterpillar and now I have itchy sores at the site where I came in contact with one. They itch extremely bad and they still haven't gotten better and it has been 5 days. I also had an allergic reaction to the poison so I broke out all over. I advise you not to touch these things!!!

Yes, you can get sick from it. Maybe not in human form, but in animal form. Aphids are known as a parasite. My own dog has been sick for a week because the aphids are falling out of the trees. They land in her food and water bowl, she eats or drinks them. She has been sick for a week now after the parasites started falling out of the trees.

2 to 5 weeks for moths but butter flies live up to 2 weeks the first week they grow up and get cared for and eat after being born in a cocoon and they second week they have kids and get eaten after the babies are laid in eggs and when they hatch they're catepillars and a catepillar changes how long it lives until it turns into a butterfly by how much they eat.

no, they do not because they do not have any sharp jaws or legs. Some kinds of worms do bite though.

Yes, any bug including caterpillars belong to the animal kingdom.

To dry out its wings. Gravity helps the fluid in the insects body to penetrate right though the wings so they're able to fly.

It takes 10 days for a butterfly from its birth to grow up in a beautiful winged butterfly.

There are over 70 different species of caterpillars and butterflies, but I strongly believe that the caterpillar you are describing is simply the Monarch Butterfly, one of the most well-known species of butterfly on Earth. The caterpillar of such, is all black with different shades of orange and yellow stripes lining its back and neck. It has two tiny antenna on its black head. See attached page for more information: http://www.monarch-butterfly.com/

baby monarch caterpillars dine on milkweed .The female lays her eggs on this plant to ensure that there is a meal ready for her young as soon as they emerge from their eggs.

A moth can't become a butterfly the same as a cat can't become a dog. The only way I know would be to change the definition, but you'd have to convince a lot of people because everyone expects them to be different.
