caterpillars

learning more about these fascinating creatures...

they have three body parts.
they have a head, and a body with a thorax and an abdomen.

each thoracic segment has a pair of jointed, or true legs. the abdominal segments have false legs, or prolegs. there are five pairs of prolegs which have tiny hooks on them that hold them onto a leaf. they look like little suction cups.
