 Caterpillars are also very susceptible to Pathogens, and dying from Disease.

Some of the most important pathogens are:

• [the]Virus(es)
• bacteria
• protozoans

• and fungi

But they are not without Defense.

• stinging hairs 
• Camouflage
• Hiding in rolled leaves
• storage of bad tasting and poisonous Chemicals
• glands that emit repellent Chemicals

• spitting
• and feigning Death

But Worms crawl.

Is crawling not similar to Running?
