註釋
It seems that the larvae of moths and butterflies are popularly seen as resembling other, larger animals. Consider the Italian dialect word gatta, 「cat, caterpillar」; the German dialect term tufelskatz, 「caterpillar」 (literally 「devil's cat」); the French word chenille, 「caterpillar」 (from a Vulgar Latin diminutive, .cano, of canis, 「dog」); and last but not least, our own word caterpillar, which appears probably to have come through Northern French from the Old French term chatepelose, meaning literally 「hairy cat.」 Our word caterpillar is first recorded in English in 1440 in the form catyrpel. Catyr, the first part of catyrpel, may indicate the existence of an English word .cater, meaning 「tomcat,」 otherwise attested only in caterwaul. Cater would be cognate with Middle High German kater and Dutch kater. The latter part of catyrpel seems to have become associated with the word piller, 「plunderer.」 By giving the variant spelling -ar, Johnson's Dictionary set the spelling caterpillar with which we are familiar today.
似乎蛾子和蝴蝶的幼蟲經常會被看成與其它較大動物相似。意大利方言中gatta， 一字，「貓，毛蟲」； 日耳曼方言中tufelskatz 一字「毛蟲」（直譯為「邪惡的貓」）； 法語詞chenille， 「毛蟲」（來自民間拉丁語小詞綴， canicula， 源自 canis ，是「狗」的意思）； 最後但並非不重要的一點，英語中caterpillar 一詞， 可能是來源於從法國北部傳來的古法語詞彙chatepelose， 字面意思是「多毛的貓」。caterpillar 一字於1440年最早記錄在英語中， 以catyrpel的形式出現。 Catyr是 catyrpel 的第一部分， 可能指明英語詞cater 的存在， 意指「雄貓」，否則只能存在於caterwaul一詞中。 Cater可能與中世紀高地德語 kater 和荷蘭語 kater 有關。 catyrpel 一詞的後一部分似乎與 piller 一詞有關，意思是「強盜」。 約翰遜的詞典 給出了不同的拼寫- ar， 從而形成了我們今天所熟悉的 caterpillar
