Caterpillars

Between 1000 - 1370, depending on the model and application.

In a cocoon a caterpillar changes into a moth or butterfly.But if they fall they will die so if you get a caterpillar take good care don't handle to much

I think i had silkworms living in a tree by my old house. They were in my walnut tree and they lived in a silk-like sac that looked like a spiders web but it was a ball. There were so many of them I took many pictures of them they are way cool.

A red caterpillar with faint diamond patterns is called a Imperial Cat Red caterpillar. The faint diamond patterns you see are actually tiny little spikes and not part of their patterned color.

The only animal capable of producing silk are of the order Arthropoda. Some of these are raspy crickets, silverfish, spiders, silkworms, caterpillars, lacewings, some species of bees, wasps and ants, and some beetles.

Black caterpillars eat the leaves of trees and plants. They have also been known to devour certain types of flowers as well. They do not drink anything because they get their water from the leaves.

Insects use a pupa when they change from one form to another. The pupa is called a cocoon if it is a moth. It is called a chrysalis if it is a butterfly.

Yes, but not over females as much as for food

This is really dependant on the type of caterpillar you have. :)

It can take a few weeks, but before winter arrives, butterflies have the ability to make the process last for mos. at a time.

The silk worm cacoon fibers are held in the wrapped condition by a natural glue. Under normal circumstances the moth will eat it's way out of the cacoon. This destroys the continuous nature of the fiber because he has chewed through it. The best silk comes from the long contiuous fiber. So before the moth can eat through the cacoon it is immersed in hot water. This disolves the glue and the harvester can pick up the loose end of the silk fiber and unwrap the moth.

The color of monarch butterflies varies depending on the traits they received from the parent butterflies. Some monarch butterflies have more orange and brown patterns than others.

A chrysalis is formed hanging from something. Many caterpillars do form a pupa on the ground, but these are not chrysalids.

Cultivation of silkworms for the purpose of harvesting the silk from their cocoons.

Silkworms eggs take about ten days to hatch. They eat continuously. They have a preference for White Mulberry having an attraction to the mulberry oderant cis-jasmone.

After they have molted four times (i.e., in the fifth instar), their bodies turn slightly yellow and their skin becomes tighter. The larvae enclose themselves in a Cocoon of raw silk produced in the salivary glands that provides protection during the vulnerable, almost motionless pupal state.

The cocoon is made of a thread of raw silk from 300 to about 900 meters (1,000 to 3,000 feet) long. The fibers are very fine and lustrous, about 10 micrometers (1/2,500th of an inch) in diameter. About 2,000 to 3,000 cocoons are required to make a pound of silk.

Well, whenever I kept a caterpillar like that, it always died. I usually did that and put a bunch of leaves in there for him to munch on. As for water, I used to just put a tiny drip on one of the leaves and hoped for the best:) My advice... keep him for a night, but then let him go the next day.

Another Answer: If you're going to keep a caterpillar for a pet, make sure you research what type of plant it eats. The Butterfly website (http://butterflywebsite.com/) has photos of caterpillars as well as butterflies. Caterpillars are very specific as to which host plants they eat, so do your research to help it grow to full size so it can morph into a chrysalis.

They pull them selves out with there two front legs called shoobers.

they secreet it to build the coccon which we collect and weave into silk

it depends on what type of caterpillar it is. for instance,a poofy.

In general, caterpillars eat plants. If they cannot find any plants to eat, however, they can sometimes resort to being cannibals.

Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Arthropoda (invertebrates with an exoskeleton), Class Insecta (true insects), Order Lepidoptera (moths & butterflies).

For the record, caterpillars are the immature larval stage of a Lepidopteran species and not a category or subcategory by themselves.

If it's white with yellow and black stripes it will turn in to a monarch butterfly it's black and orange their mostly common in Florida also if it's In a jar or container when it comes out of it's cocoon let it out it's wings are wet from the cocoon and if you don't it will die

A moth lays it's eggs onto the flower and as the seeds grow, the moth larvae eat their way into the seeds. See the related link for more information.

The centipede and the millipede are common insects that may look like a caterpillar with 30 or more legs.

Two weeks unless close to winter then they will almost hibernate until spring.

The process is called metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a transformation in which an organism abruptly changes form. Butterflies are hatched from eggs and develop into caterpillars. Caterpillars transform into pupa (chrysalis) then emerge as a butterfly.
