To eat and not be eaten that’s imperative of a caterpillar’s existence. The leaf roller reduces its risks of being picked off by predators by silking together a temporary shelter in which to feed and rest. Adopting a different line of defense, the jelly slug extrudes a sticky translucent coating that may foul the mouth-part of marauding ants. For its part, the aquatic larva, by its watery element, fashions a protable hideout from fragments of aquatic leaves.
