Caterpillars - Nate and Blake

Monarch caterpillars are stripy like a bumble bee. They are starving eating machines that munch through the green swan plant. They nearly eat a whole plant each day.

If it is cold the caterpillar slows down and curls up but when it is warm they eat heaps.
Hanging under the leaf, they use suction feet to stop from falling off.

When he turns into a butterfly, the caterpillar will be able to flay his wings 50 times a minute.
We want to build a supermarket for caterpillars in our school so they never get hungry.
