Caterpillars produce silk!
Some Caterpillars use the silk the make their cocoon or to attach themselves to a leaf. That's how our hungry caterpillars are hanging from the top of the pot!
Some types of Caterpillars construct shelters or little silk tents by weaving the silk into a web! Just like a spider!
**Did you know?**
A Caterpillar makes it's Chrysalis by shedding it's skin. A bit like how snakes shed theirs. The chrysalis is used to protect the caterpillar while it turns into a liquid, soupy substance. From there it starts the transformation into a beautiful Butterfly!
