Caterpillars

yes it stings like fire

It eats continuously,therefore it grows faster.

green

A green fuzzy Italian herb with small leaves might be basil. Another herb that matches this description is the mint plant.

Again, I suggest you do some research on the web about these animals. I refer again to the Crocodile Hunter website. Steve Irwin kept American Alligators along with the Salt Water Crocodiles that he always profiled. He had a show that distinguished the behavioral differences between the two kinds of crocodilians. Essentially, it is about blowing bubbles in the water, though. Navigate through the site and you can contact the zoo staff and ask them. You might even be able to find an old video of Steve Irwin with his alligators and crocs.

I'm pretty sure they are called inch worms!

Butterflies are a common symbol of the soul. In that case a caterpillar would be the mortal body, and the butterfly is the soul going to heaven. In Corpse Bride, Emily was finally at peace and could leave the world behind.

The water coolant thermostats, on a Caterpillar C-12 diesel engine, are located on the front of the engine. Follow the water supply hose from the radiator to the engine.

hawks eat caterpillars

No they don't.

Caterpillars and silkworms are eating machines. Once hatched, they will eat and eat until it becomes time to spin their cocoons or pupate to reach the final stage and emerge as an adult. In commercial silk production, once the silkworm is cocooned, it is dropped into boiling water to kill it. The cocoon is then unravelled to produce a silk thread Several threads are combined to produce the silk yarn strong enough to produce a fabric.

Its host plant - the plant you found it on. Most caterpillars won't eat anything else. Make sure it can eat continually, as that's most important to it. Caterpillars are built to eat the whole time, and grow the whole time. The best would be to have the plant in a pot in its cage so the leaves are fresh (replace the plant when there's no leaves left :P). Also make sure the caterpillar isn't cold - room temperature would be ok. No water dish as it might drown in it, the best would be to mist the cage every day, but make sure there's no mold growing. Good luck! ^^

5 .10 maybe 15 pounds depends how tall they are. This is a question for a doctor.

they need lots and lots of candy

cm/min -- centimeters per minute, speed is always determined by distance over time. :)

It depends on the species of caterpillar. Some are carnivorous, eating insects or other caterpillar species. Some are cannibalistic. At least one Hawaiian species of caterpillar traps snails in silk traps and eats them.

hungry and slow

plants grass and sometimes humans! just joking! it eats milkweed A LOT and liquids like water too.

Wooly bear caterpillars have orange fuzz and a black body. The orange fuzz on a wooly bear caterpillar actually keeps the caterpillar warm in colder climates.
