__ What we still wonder: __ Why don't caterpillars have antenna? Do all caterpillars have spikes? Why don't caterpillars have 3 different segments? Why do caterpillars have 12 legs and not just 6? I wonder what the spots on the cocoon mean? I wonder if the pupas shaking scares away birds? How do butterflies get out of the cocoon? Why do they eat their egg shell?
