Tobacco Hornworm Feet

These larvae (LAR-vee), or caterpillars, of moths and butterflies generally do not have more than five pairs of prolegs, one pair
being located on the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and last body segments. Each short wide proleg is provided with a number of
very tiny hooks called crochets (cro-SHAYS) which enable the creature to quite tenaciously grip to whatever it is feasting upon.
