- Fun Facts:


• A butterfly caterpillar may eat many times its own weight in food in one day.



• Certain types of caterpillars have stinging hairs that are hollow-like miniature straws and when the hair is touched a stinging chemical comes out of it that causes the attacker's skin to burn and itch.



• Groups of tent caterpillars build large silken tents as resting sites and shelters from enemies and the weather. These are permanent homes for the caterpillars until they change into moths.



• The milkweed caterpillar feeds on milkweed plants which have a milky-white, poisonous sap in the stems and leaves. The caterpillar stores the poison in its own body, protecting itself from the birds and animals that eat caterpillars. Even after the caterpillar turns into a monarch butterfly, it has the milkweed's poison in the body so it remains protected.
