What is a Caterpillar?
CAT'ERPILLAR
(the consumer), probably another word for locusts in their immature or wingless state, appearing in vast numbers and of most destructive voracity. 1 Kgs 8:37. Hence they were often employed as the agents in the execution of God's judgments, Ps 78:46 and Ps 105:34, and figuratively represent a great multitude. Isa 33:4; Jer 51:14, Gen 1:27. They were regarded as among the most desolating visitations of God's hand.
