About the Caterpillar
A caterpillar is the larva, or young growing stage, of a butterfly or moth. It spends its days eating leaves and growing quickly before turning into a pupa and later emerging with wings. This early stage is one of the clearest examples children can watch of an animal completely changing form. Print this caterpillar for a life-cycle lesson and trace the path along its long, segmented body.
- A caterpillar is the larval stage of butterflies and moths.
- It eats and grows before becoming a pupa, then an adult with wings.
