"Caterpillar c.1440, catyrpel, probably altered (by association with M.E. piller "plunderer") from Norm.-Fr. caterpilose, from O.Fr. chatepelose, literally "hairy cat" (probably in reference to the "wooly-bear" variety), from L.L. catta "cat" + pilosus "hair." A Swiss German name for it is teufelskatz "devils cat." (Thesaurus) Photo by: Mihajlo Filipovic © 2024 All Rights Reserved by Photographer | Jul
