 ===== Introduction =====
-Many caterpillar species have hairs that help them defend against predators (Sugiura and Yamazaki 2014) and parasitoids (Kageyama and Sugiura 2016). Both interactions strongly increase mortality, so why aren't all caterpillars hairy? One possible explanation is that naked caterpillars may be preferred by parasitoids precisely because they are less susceptible to predation. Caterpillars more prone to predation would not sustain many parasitoid species, so they could, in fact, suffer less from parasitism than experiments indicate.

Both interactions strongly increase mortality, so why aren't all caterpillars hairy? Curiously, hairy caterpillars may be more attacked by parasitoids. One possible explanation for that is that hairy caterpillars may be preferred by parasitoids precisely because they are less susceptible to predation (Stireman and Singer 2003). Caterpillars more prone to predation would not sustain many parasitoid species, so they could, in fact, suffer less from parasitism than experiments indicate.
