Caterpillar is the worm-like larva of butterflies and moths, having numerous pairs of legs and powerful biting jaws. In our home garden, we frequently observe caterpillars of different nature. The specialty, we have observed is that a particular type of butterflies or moths lay their eggs and starts the life of that particular caterpillars always on one particular type of plant.

Frequently, I have observed this type of caterpillars on this flower tree. During its period of life as a caterpillar, it eats up all the leaves of this tree. It is yellowish and shiny.
