Caterpillars of Arkansas
Caterpillars are the larval stage of butterflies and moths. Their worm-like appearance is modified by stripes, bars, bristles, and hairs - often with brilliant colors. Spines of caterpillars of some moths are toxic, so handling them can result in a stinging sensation. Some species are easily identified, but most are small and so variable as they age that identification can be difficult.
