A Banded Wooly Bear Caterpillar is a non-perishable insect food found by foraging, that can be used in fishing.

Usage

Fishing

Main article: Fishing

Caterpillars can technically be used as bait for fishing. However, current fish only respond to Little Bait Fish, Worm, Cricket, Grasshopper, Cockroach, and Maggots as bait, so doing so is not advised.

Foraging

Main article: Foraging

It is acquired through foraging, and impossible 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.
