CATERPILLAR. This word is generally limited to 
the larval state of Lepidopterous insects (Moths and Butter- 
flies). A Caterpillar is made up of a head and thirteen 
segments or body divisions. There are usually three pairs 
of thoracic legs and a variable number of what ento- 
mologists call abdominal feet. These latter are situate 
upon the hinder divisions of the body, and are variable in 
number. The latter pair of abdominal feet are modified 
for clasping. Abdominal feet are of temporary use, and 
finally are absorbed. The six thoracic legs are a practi- 
cally constant feature in Lepidopterous larve, but there are 
a few isolated cases in which they are altogether wanting. 
In the changes which take place they are eventually 
employed in the production of the legs of the perfect 
insect.
