	Vegetable caterpillar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vegetable caterpillars are the result of infection of large underground caterpillars by a fungus of the genus Cordyceps.
		Vegetable caterpillars have long been valued as traditional Chinese medicine, being regarded as having an excellent balance of yin and yang (through being apparently both animal and vegetable).
		The fungus infects the caterpillars of ghost moths (Thitarodes).

	Insect Management in the Home Garden
		In areas where wireworms are known to be a problem, it may be necessary to apply a granular insecticide to the prepared soil, "rototill" or spade it in to a depth of 6 inches, and water the plot thoroughly.
		The caterpillars are bright yellow and green and grow to be about 1 1/2 inches long.
		The caterpillars are dark-headed and are pinkish-white or greenish in color and their bodies reach 3/4 inch in length when mature.

	Caterpillar Control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Caterpillars are immature insects (larva) that become moths or butterflies as adults.
		Most caterpillars feed on plants of some kind, some are pests of stored grain (Mediterranean flour moth, indian meal moth), some feed on wool and hair (the clothes moth), and some are pests in gardens and yards.
		Caterpillar damage on leaves is unsightly, but, unless plants are small when they are attacked, there is often little long term harm.

		Vegetable oil that is applied directly to the tip of each ear coats all the silks down inside the silk channel, and kills larvae as they enter.

		The vegetable motor oil derivative would initially cost about $2 a gallon more than conventional oil, but it would be cheaper in the long run because it is biodegradable and does not harm the topsoil or water supplies, scientists said.
		The vegetable oil would replace certain additives in motor oil that are used to prevent, for example, corrosion or the buildup of residue that can damage car filters or spark plugs.

	Worldandnation: Hawaiian caterpillar likes snails
		The caterpillar is the first ever observed to eat any kind of mollusk, researchers reported in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
		The caterpillar "wedges its case next to or inside the snail shell and stretches much of its body out of the silk case, pursuing the retreating snail to the end of the shell from which there is no escape," Haines and Rubinoff report.
		A few caterpillars have been found to eat scale and other small insects, but moving on to snails is a big shift, he said.

	Insects - Why Not Eat Insects by Vincent M. Holt (1885) 7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		I have pointed out before that we have Dr. Darwin's authority that the caterpillars of the sphinx moths, as eaten by the Chinese, are very palatable; and another traveller has told us that he found the caterpillars eaten by the Hottentots tasted like almond paste.
		Its caterpillar, when full-grown, is one and a half inches in length, and, owing to its unpleasant habit of living upon his cabbages, of which it usually leaves nothing but skeleton leaves, is too well known to every gardener.
		The foregoing remarks apply equally to the small white cabbage butterfly (Pontia, rapae), whose caterpillars are smaller, of a green colour, and velvety, having a stripe of yellow along the back, and spots of the same colour along the sides.

		Rather than develop a final lubricant for a specific use, Erhan and her colleagues make simple chemical modifications to vegetable oils and test them for improvements before adding lubricating additives.

		Flesh-eating caterpillars are extremely rare, and always prefer to eat other insects — never snails, which are mollusks.
		The initial discovery of the snail-eating caterpillars came when Rubinoff placed a new Hawaiian moth caterpillar of the genus Hyposmocoma in a box and offered it algae, lichens and other vegetable food, the traditional fare of caterpillars on the rest of planet Earth.
		To his disbelief, the caterpillar took out right after the snail and made a meal of it.

		Each ear was scored for the number, size and kind of caterpillars, as well as the severity of damage and the point of entry of caterpillar that caused damage (through the side or tip of the ear).
		Interestingly, the oil treatment not only reduced the damage from caterpillars that entered through the tip of the ear, but also significantly reduced the number of ears with husk damage and damage from side entry (Fig 3).
		For this reason, it is important to utilize the IPM scouting techniques as well as both pre-silk foliar sprays and oiling of silks, as needed, to minimize damage from all of the possible caterpillar pests.
