o you hear a soft and constant crunching sound? Tiny little crawlers have

They eat upside down, they eat sideways, they don't care which way they eat. But
they hardly stop eating. They're...
Different caterpillars will become
different moths or butterflies.
Do the math problems on each
caterpillar, butterfly and moth. The
matching answers will show you what
kind of butterfly or moth each
caterpillar will become.
Big, little, bare or fuzzy,
all caterpillars have the
same body parts.

and differences.
These "legs" support and move
the growing caterpillar. Prolegs
help the caterpillar to hold
tightly to a branch or leaf.
(These
will become
the legs of the
adult butterfly
or moth.)
A newly hatched caterpillar is about
1 millimeter long. In a couple of
months most will be about 2
centimeters long. This is about a
2,000 percent increase in length. If
you grew 2,000 percent, how tall
would you be?
One of the biggest of all
caterpillars is the hickory
horned devil. To find out how
big it is, count all of the other
on the page.
