How did I mess that up?
Well, it depends on which direction they're going, I guess.
And they move in a couple of ways.
One of two ways is sometimes they're crawling, which means they're moving all of those pro legs and legs at the same time in sequence.
Or they do what sounds like an inchworm does, right?
Yeah, and I never looked close enough at an inchworm to figure out why they move that way.
And I feel like a dummy now because it seems obvious.
They move that way because their middle section doesn't have legs.
It's pretty cool.
So the front pulls the back because that's where the legs are and the legs go, let me catch up.
It's like a little cute accordion.
Most things on a caterpillar are small, obviously, including their little eyelets.
They have 12 of those.
They're called stomata.
And if you do look closely, though, it's really cool looking.
