9:45am: the spice girls are monstrous, and moving.

from enchantedlearning.com

caterpillars can barely see at all. they have simple eyes (ocelli) which can only differentiate dark from light; they cannot form an image. they are composed of photoreceptors (light-sensitive cells) and pigments. most caterpillars have a semi-circular ring of six ocelli on each side of the head.
caterpillars startle at loud noises.

4:00pm: everyone who has visited the spice girls today has visibly shuddered. betsy observed the tiny suctioning mechanisms on the caterpillars' feet.

caterpillar poop is often called frass.
