Caterpillars are the larval stage of butterflies and moths, characterized by segmented bodies and multiple pairs of legs. They spend weeks or months eating voraciously, growing rapidly and shedding their skin several times before entering the chrysalis stage. Many caterpillars are brightly colored as a warning to predators that they are toxic or unpalatable.
