Detailed explanation-1: -That would mean caterpillars have about six times as many muscles as we do. Their head capsules alone have 248 different muscles, and each body segment is controlled by up to 70 muscles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some species of caterpillar have 4, 000 muscles in their body. Compare that to the human muscular system, which is made up of only 639.
