Caterpillar head, SEM

Caterpillar head and front part of body, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Caterpillars (order Lepidoptera) are the larval stage of the life cycle of a butterfly or moth. A caterpillar is an eruciform larva, one that has a well- developed head and mouth (upper left). The three pairs of true legs (lower centre) are seen. Pseudo-legs along the rest of the body provide a firm grip. Most caterpillars eat leaves, growing until they are ready to pupate. This may involve the spinning of a cocoon, from which the adult insect (imago) emerges
