CATERPILLARS Pain or Gain?

I want to share something beautiful but sometimes destructive depending on the views we have of it.

I saw them while on a workout stroll decided to share some information about it

Caterpillars are the larval stage of members of the insect order comprising butterflies and moths.

Caterpillars of most species are herbivorous , but not all some about few tho are insectivorous, even cannibalistic. Some even feed on other animal products.

Caterpillars are typically voracious feeders and many of them are among the most serious agricultural pests.

Surprisingly many moth species are best known in their caterpillar development stage because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce, whereas the moths are obscure and do no direct harm.

Then again, various species of caterpillar are valued as sources of silk, as human or animal food, or for biological control of pest plants.

Please i would love you to take some time and share your views if their presence brings Pain or Gain.

Thanks for your time!!
