Before turning into a moth or butterfly, caterpillars enter the pupal stage where metamorphous occurs. During their larval stage, caterpillars are voracious eaters and can increase their weight by thousands of times. Caterpillars start off as eggs before developing into larvae that look like fat worms. Other horned caterpillars have spiky-looking structures giving the caterpillar a horned appearance.Īll species of caterpillars, including horned ones, belong to the insect order Lepidoptera. Some types of hornworms have a horn-like tail that they wag to frighten other animals. The “horns” on some types of caterpillars are used in defense to ward off potential predators. Horned caterpillars are crawling insects which are the larvae of moths and butterflies. Email Pinterest Facebook Twitter Linkedin
