MIX AND MATCH^


Caterpillars come in many
different colors and may
change color as they get older.
Paint a caterpillar outline and
fill it in with yellow paint. Then
add some blue paint. What color
is your caterpillar now?

Twiggy disguise

Peppered moth caterpillars look
like twigs. They have no legs
in the middle of the body and
are the same shape and color
as the twigs.

Little and large

Poisonous large white caterpillars
do not need to hide because
enemies know to keep away.
Tasty small white caterpillars
are camouflaged to stay alive.

At first, small white
caterpillars feed
unseen on the cabbage.
