Caterpie is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a green caterpillar with a yellow underside and teardrop-shaped tail. There are yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its segmented body, which resemble its eyes and are meant to scare off predators. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. Despite these features and its camouflage in green foliage, Caterpie is often preyed upon by {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. Its four tiny feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. | Caterpie is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a green {{wp|caterpillar}} with a yellow underside and teardrop-shaped tail.

Caterpie | Caterpie appears to be based on a {{wp|caterpillar}}, with its color and {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} resembling those of an {{wp|Papilio xuthus|Asian swallowtail}}, {{wp|Papilio glaucus|eastern tiger swallowtail}}, or {{wp|Papilio troilus|spicebush swallowtail}} larva. Its red "antenna" is similar to an {{wp|osmeterium}}, an organ that many swallowtail caterpillars use to emit a foul odor when threatened. The tip of its tail resembles the horn that many species of {{wp|Sphingidae|hawk moth}} larvae have on their rear ends. | ||
