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. |
