## Description

Les chenilles de nos jardins is an educational nature website dedicated to helping readers understand and appreciate the caterpillars found around them. It challenges common misconceptions that caterpillars are always dangerous, irritating, or harmful, and explains their role in ecosystems as the developing stage of butterflies and moths. The site offers introductory information on caterpillar anatomy, life cycles, feeding, and the main families of Lepidoptera, alongside identification profiles for species commonly found in French gardens. These profiles describe appearance, biology, host plants, and useful recognition features. Practical articles address caterpillars in parks, gardens, orchards, and vegetable plots, including guidance on distinguishing processionary species from other hairy caterpillars and responding to nests in fruit trees. A question-and-answer section covers topics such as whether all caterpillars become butterflies and whether hairy species are harmful. The website also provides freely shareable educational materials, recommended books and online identification resources, and blog posts about rearing and naturalist observations. Its aim is to encourage informed, thoughtful interest in caterpillars and their place in nature.
