===Fishing===
{{Main|Fishing}}
Caterpillars can technically be used as bait for [[fishing]]. However, current fish only respond to [[Bait Fish]], [[Worm]], [[Cricket]], [[Grasshopper]], [[Cockroach]], and [[Maggot]] as bait, so doing so is not advised.

===Foraging===
{{Main|Foraging}}
It is acquired through foraging. Not possible to acquire during winter times. It falls under the "Animal" category and has a higher chance to be found when foraging at night. It can be found at foraging level 0 and above.

==Trivia==
*This item only shows up as "Caterpillar" in-game, and so is only distinguishable by the icon.
