Caterpillars

No information can be found on which caterpillar is the smallest because they can vary in size so greatly. Most caterpillars are almost too small to see with the naked eye when they hatch, and they grow as the eat more.

Hi there. . .I'm from Sudbury Ontario Canada. Got the same problem. I spoke to our local greenhouse/garden nursery hoticulturist. Go out at night and check for insects. Some holes in your leaves are from normal insect activiity, if there's lots, then you know it is a insect problem, HOWEVER, my problem is something different. leaves are curled around the outside edges, almost looks like hand that has formed like a claw. There are a few holes in the upper leaves, but not enough to cause the leaf curl. My problem is from OVERWATERING. . .killing my trees with kindness, Horticulturist said I should only water 2 or maybe 3 times a summer--if that. I've been watering every day for 2 months. I was told to back off on the watering. Don't water again til fall-Sept or Oct. . .but only once. Let the root system find its own source of water. Roots on my trees are starting to rot from overwatering. My trees will be fine as long as I stop watering or killing them with kindness. I have beautiful gardens, my property is amazing. Thought I knew it all. . .but I blew it. . .almost killed my favourite trees in the whole wide world. Good Luck!

The opposite of grass would typically be considered as something like pavement or concrete.

The casing spun of silk by a caterpillar is called a cocoon. The caterpillar uses its silk glands to produce the silk thread and constructs the cocoon to protect itself during the pupal stage of its life cycle. The silk cocoon serves as a safe environment for the caterpillar to undergo metamorphosis and emerge as an adult moth or butterfly.

if your strong enough and dumb enough yeah

The membrane of grasses is called the cuticle. It is a waxy layer on the surface of grass leaves that helps reduce water loss and protects against environmental stresses.

Monarch butterflies will only lay their eggs on milkweed because it is their hostplant. A hostplant is the plant that the caterpillar will eat when it hatches from its egg. So, the monarch caterpillar will only eat milkweed, and the monarch butterfly will only lay its eggs on milkweed. The monarch depends in the milkweed, the milkweed does not depend on the monarch butterflies.

they don't

Male and non-pregnant female polar bears do not hibernate, but can switch over to a "Walking Hibernation" when there is not enough food. They slightly lower their body temperature and decreased heart and breathing rates.This physiological act is unique to Polar Bears no other bear can do.

However, in the fall, each pregnant female digs a 'maternity den' and enters a hibernation-like state. She won't leave the den until her babies are ready to follow her while she hunts.

The Atlas moth caterpillar holds the record for the largest caterpillar, reaching lengths of about 4-5 inches. Its size allows it to grow into one of the world's largest moths with a wingspan of up to 10 inches.

A butterfly does not spin a cocoon, it's pupa is called a chrysalis. A moth, however, spins a protective silk case which is known as a cocoon.

A caterpillar spins either a cocoon or a chrysalis depending on its breed. After being incased it will be its transfirmation into a butterfly.

The time spent in the chrysalis is different for each species of Butterfly, but when the metormorphosis is complete the new butterfly will break its way out of the casing of the chrysalis and spread its new wings for the first time. The butterfly will genrally cling onto the side of the chrysalis for an hour or so, to allow their wings to dry out, and enable them to fly for the first time.

The time that a lava spends in pupation may be brief, as with the Monarch butterfly who only stay in a chrysalis for 2 weeks. However, some species enter into a dormant state when they start pupation and stay in this stage until the appropriate season. They mostly stay dormant through the winter months or during the dry season in the tropics.

Yes, caterpillars can be found in rainforests as they are a diverse group of insects that inhabit various ecosystems. They play a significant role in the rainforest food web as herbivores, feeding on leaves and plant material.

Yes, many insects feed on plants as part of their diet. Some insects, like caterpillars and grasshoppers, are herbivores and primarily eat plants for sustenance. However, not all insects consume plants; some are carnivorous and feed on other insects or animals.

Vitamins belong to the group of organic compounds essential for various bodily functions. They are classified into two groups: water-soluble vitamins (such as B vitamins and vitamin C) and fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K).

The ginger garlic paste may have turned green after grinding in a stainless steel jar because of a reaction between the garlic, ginger, and the metal in the bowl. This is also why a person should never mix mayonnaise with other foods in a stainless steel bowl. The acid mixes with the metal to form a toxic substance.

Coral begins as a free-floating larva which settles on a hard surface. It then forms a colony and grows into a polyp, which reproduces asexually to create more polyps. These polyps secrete calcium carbonate to build a skeleton, creating the structure we know as a coral reef.

As long as you remain on title and deed, you can put the mortgage note under someone else name and still be considered an owner of the property. In fact a 1% owner of a property can hold a mortgage note legally.

when plants don't have water, they wilt

Oils belong to the lipid group, which are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are non-polar and hydrophobic in nature, making them insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Oils are commonly used for cooking, as fuel, and in skincare products.

The spider you are describing is most likely the "Theridion grallator," also known as the happy face spider. It is found in Hawaii and its unique markings on its back resemble a smiling face. These spiders are harmless to humans and are known for their distinct appearance.

It is not a caterpillar -- it is the larvae of a June beetle: "June beetle larvae are easy to identify because they crawl upside down on their backs with their feet upward." Source: Darrell Blackwelder, Salisbury Post, September 25, 2009.
