The first thing that caterpillars eat is their eggshell. On each side of its head, a caterpillar has 6 tiny eyelets, called stemmata, arranged in a semi-circle. Caterpillars get creative when it comes to self-defence. Life at the bottom of the food chain can be tough, so caterpillars employ all kinds of strategies to avoid becoming a bird snack.
