Question

On one oak tree, there were two types of caterpillar. All the caterpillars were eating the leaves. The number of gypsy moth caterpillars increased. What happened to the number of orange-striped caterpillars?

Answer 1

Answer:

If they both eat the same thing then you would expect a decrease in the number of orange-stripped caterpillars. If they don't then there might be an increase as there are more gypsy moth caterpillars for the predators to eat. Otherwise it likely have no effect on the orange-stripped caterpillars
