Once when I was about 5 or 6, I brought a caterpillar to school to live with the monarch one we had. Then, when the monarch came out of its little chrysalis apparently my caterpillar ate its wings off and I even got in trouble. I still don't know what kind it was, but its was brown and prickly and apparently hungry.But here's a pic I took of a monarch caterpillar.
Was it this?If so it was a Tent caterpillar
it did look like that, but it was in our garden eating our tomato plants... stupid caterpillar...thanks
