Caterpillars are the larvae (the young) of butterflies and moths. They crawl and look like worms but they are not. They have six legs, chewing mouthparts, and no wings.They may be brown, yellow, white or green with black rings. They have a distinct head, a thorax of three segments, and an abdomen of ten segments. Legs are on the thorax. Some caterpillars have fleshy abdominal prolegs, but these are not true legs. The “skin” may be fuzzy, smooth, or bristly. The head bears a pair of antennae (feelers) and a few simple eyes.
