Caterpillars are the larvae of butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera); adults lay eggs on plants and the hatching caterpillars feed for several weeks before turning into a pupa. Depending on the species, they chew leaves leaving holes or only the veins, cut seedlings off at ground level (cutworms), bore into stems and fruit, or spin silk nests. They attack cabbages, tomato, maize, lettuce, beans, grapevine, fruit trees and ornamentals, and their droppings and chewed leaves often reveal their presence.
