Do caterpillars sleep?

• Answer:

  No. Yes caterpillars do sleep. If you watch closely when they are up on the trees they will sleep near they closest food resources, like trees plants or leaves. Caterpillars are way too busy to sleep. They are in a constant process of eating and growing and molting (shedding skins that are too small, so they can keep growing.) A caterpillar molts a total of five times, after which its skin is transformed into a chrysalis. After a short while, a moth or butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. No... Right above me is wrong. I Have a small green caterpillar and it can sleep. March.20th.2012 was when my caterpillar first slept. It crawls under a leaf and stick it's legs under the leaf. So yes, they can sleep. Sometime they may poop. iGlowers
