No Only LIME caterpillars (caterpillars which are born at lime plants/leaves) eat lime leaves. They eat leaves that they are suitable for.
it depends on the size of the fireplace in comparison to the size of the moth. It may not be intuitive, but actually the SMALLER the moth, the more likely it is to be able to eat an entire fireplace. Most moth websites don't recommend this as part of a healthy diet though, as fireplaces are often seen as carcinongenic (bad for you).
One more thing, if you want to protect against moths eating fireplaces (can be costly), why not take up fireplace insurance that covers it?
Hope this helps,

What is the method of the reproduction for caterpillars?
Caterpillars do not reproduce: they are part of the reproductive process for moths and butterflies. They are called a larvalstage, one that obtains the necessary nutrients for the final form of the insect, then undergoes metamorphosis.
Reproductive Cycle for Moths and Butterflies:
- The adult female moth or butterfly lays its eggs.
- The eggs hatch and small caterpillars crawl out.
- The caterpillars begin to feed for days or weeks (usually on leaves and plants)
- The caterpillar attaches itself to a location, or within a safe place, and spins a fine web cocoon (chrysalis) around itself.
- The caterpillar changes form dramatically as its cells differentiate into the final adult form within the cocoon.
- The adult moth or butterfly opens the cocoon and emerges. After its wings are dry, it flies away. The cocoon is discarded.
- The adult mates with another of its species to create new eggs to lay.
In the Monarch butterfly, the cocoon starts as a bright green, and ends as a reddish brown. Sometimes the adult's wings can just faintly be seen through the thin threads.
For silkworm caterpillars, the cocoons are collected, either with or without larvae inside, and the fibers separated to be spun into silk thread and fabric.
