Caterpillars

Common name given to the larvae of insects in the order of Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths) and a few other species.

There are many different caterpillars around, and some, like the Monarch Butterfly Caterpillar are often bred by a large number of enthusiastic gardeners (Monarch Butterflies). However there are many types that can cause gardeners major problems, including the larvae of White Butterfly.

Caterpillars feed on the soft leaves and often leave the stems untouched, others feed on the fruit like the Tomato fruit worm.
