Quotes from the book:

- ... caterpillar hanging down on its silken thread. He recognised it as the larva of the Common Marbled Carpet - a pretty, little, mottled moth that often laids its eggs on hawthorn.
- ... hammock, and moving softly above the cave, he heated water over the fire then poured it carefully into a bowl ... feet from Stephen's face. It was like some gigantic caterpillar. But the animal didn't disturb him at all; it paused for a while, scaled the wall, and came to hand above his head.
