Did you know?

Caterpillars are the larval stage of butterflies and moths, spending weeks or months munching leaves and growing through multiple molts before pupating. Their segmented bodies and leaf-eating habits make them both garden helpers and pests, depending on the species and crop—but their transformation into winged insects remains one of nature's most magical metamorphoses.
