The caterpillar wheel mounted on the fibre payout arm provides the necessary tension conversion between the two systems. All plants were checked for presence of caterpillars and/or damaged leaves. The caterpillar then leaves the apple and makes its cocoon. Reduced feeding by caterpillars was termed a feeding restraint effect and the refusal to eat leaves sprayed with solution was termed an anti-feeding effect. I have a distant recollection of being told the story as a child : once upon a time, the butterfly was a caterpillar. Lizards attacked far fewer sawfly larvae than pierid caterpillars. Our estimates of caterpillar densities and herbivore damage probably a re underestimates. The highest numbers of caterpillars were parasitized in apples and apricots. The two types of hair of first instar larvae were separately cut from caterpillars using microscissors. Analysis was thus based on the presence of injury rather than the number of caterpillars. We propose that, in light of these findings, caterpillars may be important food items for other gleaning insectivorous bats as well. The higher growth rates of these caterpillars were probably the consequence of reduced time spent in the stadium. Therefore, we studied the occurring herbivore patterns and densities and estimated the amount of damage done to seedlings by caterpillars. To perform this experiment, a mature caterpillar tied to a thread was dipped in boiling water. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
