Caterpillars

Thrush birds do not eat caterpillars because they are too big for them to handle. Thrush birds mainly eat worms, snails, and very small insects.

*************************************************

Members of the Thrush family are omnivorous, eating caterpillars, and invertebrates, especially earthworms and snails, as well as soft fruit and berries.

The larval form of butterflies come in many shapes, colors and sizes. There are a few distinguishing characteristics, chief of which are that they have soft bodies with up to five prolegs. Caterpillars also have six stemmata.

Doubtfully, but more importantly, why does it matter. 'Knowing' implies cognitive thought which means a caterpillar would have a capacity by which it could process information, which in humans is a brain. Though a human baby is born with a brain, it is just starting to develop the concept of future so s/he is not aware of becoming an adult.

no because how would it make all those changes

"What is the symbolism of finding a dead caterpillar?"

Pretty much destroy them if left unchecked. The tents can be as big as a duffel bag, a huge cocoon, and the adults feed like crazy and ravish the leaves. If you have a safe area to do so, take the whole cocoon down and burn it, then spray the tree with whatever your nurseryman advises for your area. Left unchecked, the new caterpillars will destroy a whole stand of trees.

The time when silkworms transform from larvae into adults is called the pupal stage or pupation. During this period, silkworms undergo significant changes within a protective cocoon, eventually emerging as adult moths. This transformation is a crucial part of their life cycle, marking the transition from larval to adult form.

Actually, neither. While changing, it is a Chrysalis. (kris-a-lis)

Yes they do the suns energy gives off to the seeds which make them have nutrients to the caterpillars.

A chrysalis often looks like a leaf that has been folded around and hung upside down. You can see pictures of a chrysalis online at places like The Butterfly Site.

Caterpillars do have stomachs. Their stomachs help to digest the food in order to prepare them for the pupal stage.

That it's an intermediate stage in a life cycle is the reason why caterpillars eat a lot of food. The first stage is the egg. The second is the caterpillar. The third stage is the chrysalis. The fourth stage is the butterfly or moth. The caterpillar needs to eat enough food to build the chrysalis and then emerge in a completely different form with completely different responsibilities.

Black and brown fuzzy caterpillars are not poisonous. Most poisonous species of caterpillar are very colorful and easily spotted.

They make silk...when the spin their cacoon

the adaption of a carnivorous caterpillar is that it can camouflage to hide from predators and it's prey (prey because, the prey wouldn't notice it, so when the prey touches it, it will strike). Also a(n) instinctive strike so when touched, it will strike right away without hesitation (which i thought was cool). But they also have a seductive smell (which I'm not really sure they do, but i guess they do). (I learned all of this in school in the eighth grade which i thought was really cool to remember about those types of caterpillars).

According to http://www.anniebees.com/China/China_29.htm , each silkworm cocoon is made of a single fiber about 3600 feet long, and eight fibers are twisted together to make a usable thread, so 40000 silkworms would make 5000 threads 3600 feet lopng.

At 200 threads per inch (400 inches of thread per square inch), eight cocoons would make (3600 x 12) / 400 = 108 square inches of cloth. Therefore, 40000 silkworms would make (5000 x 108) / 144 = 3750 square feet of cloth. Note that all the silkworms are killed in the process.

Silk is made from the string that silk worms use to spin their cocoons. Once the silk worm has spun its cocoon, the worm is killed to keep it from chewing its way through the cocoon to get out. The silk is then unwound from the cocoon and used to make textiles.

of course not! a caterpillar is like a very young girl. she has not had the right "things" happen so she cannot "reproduce". a caterpillar is not old enough to reproduce. it is simplt on the larval stage of life. a caterpillar has to become a butterfly before it can reproduce.

it really just depends on which type of caterpillar it is. most caterpillar's eat leaves. if you wet a leaf and leave it on the grass it will come and drink the water on the leaf and then munch on the leaf until the caterpillar, well, doesn't wan;t to eat anymore.

These sound like Datana caterpillars and many are not poisonous. They are usually pests of shrubs and trees. There are many of these and are different kinds. See the link below for more ID information:

The puss moth caterpillar has a furry light brown color and will turn into a puss moth. They are one of the most toxic caterpillars. Another furry caterpillar is the wooly bear but it is brown and black and it turns into a wooly bear tiger moth.

Silkworms can grow to 3 inches in length. Silkworms go through four stages of development. silkworms grow as much as they eat.

Despite being extremely venomous, saddleback caterpillars are still eaten by birds that have adapted to avoid the spiny setae that deliver the saddleback caterpillar's venom.
