Caterpillars’ Diet Choices

The diamondback caterpillar, a major pest for cabbage family plants, has a surprising strategy for survival. It prefers to feed on unhealthy fields where the crops have already suffered, knowing that its primary predator, a parasite wasp, targets healthy fields. This behavior suggests the caterpillar has been designed with an instinctual understanding of how to avoid danger.
