My small caterpillar sometimes hangs from a thin string. Is there something wrong with it?

Question:
My small caterpillar sometimes hangs from a thin string. Is there something wrong with it?

Answer:
No, it is fine! 

Caterpillars will drop by a strand of silk for several reasons including:


• They were disturbed by something and simply drop to get away from perceived danger

• They want to move lower

• They lose their grip accidentally



They’ll climb back up the string to the leaf.
