Endemic to Greenland and Canada (around the Arctic Circle), they spend most of their lives frozen and dormant. Because of this, this caterpillar has the longest life cycle seen in any butterfly or moth: it takes as long as 14 or 15 years to fully develop from egg to moth and only molt every 4 years. This caterpillar can withstand temperatures below −60 °C. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play dead to protect themselves and releases stinky fluid. There is an interesting story about their name. According to the legends, somewhere in Europe, the pests were destroying the crops. The farmers prayed to the virgin mary, and soon farmers saw some bugs came and ate the pests saving their crops.
