I didn't have to look far in my yard this morning for this shot of a pretty colourful caterpillar (Trichiocercus sparshalli caterpillar/long-tailed bombyx moth) on our bird bath. I wondered if a caterpillar is considered to be an insect but good old google said :

Caterpillars are insects. They are the larval stage of butterflies and moths, which are flying insects. Caterpillars form pupae, within which they transform into butterflies and moths.

Google also said that the definition of an insect is :

"a trivial or contemptible person"
