Normally Caterpillar is nothing but the larva of a butterfly or moth. It has a segmented body resembling a worm with three pairs of true legs and several pairs of leg-like appendages. It is considered as a voracious feeder.It mostly eats leaves and grows very quickly.

Caterpillars spend their whole life by searching for and consuming food.But, they are different than other worms because they have the capability to fulfill their desire for food completely. And when they reach the saturation point, they begin wandering in the quest for a suitable pupation site, often the underside of a leaf. There it spins a button of silk which it uses to fasten its body to the surface. Some caterpillars create a cocoon to protect the pupa whereas some species go with the naked pupa. Then the transformation happens within few weeks and the caterpillar will turn into a colorful butterfly.

It is one of the strangest transformation and a lot to learn from this interesting process. So, let us learn and understand this caterpillar theory and start applying it in our lives.
