Caterpillar

From a very young age I grew a fascination with caterpillars. I was always amazed that a living object was able to transform from this unattractive worm-like (sometimes hairy) bug into a beautiful flying butterfly. I have always loved butterflies.






Caterpillar: the worm-like larva of butterflies and moths, having numerous pairs of legs and powerful biting jaws. It may be brightly colored, hairy, or spiny.


Q. What is larva?  

A.  the immature, wingless, feeding stage of an insect that undergoes complete metamorphosis.
