But some kinds of caterpillars face a scarier threat: predators that take control of them! Readers learn all about parasites, specifically those that make zombies out of their caterpillar prey.

Fascinating fact boxes engage readers with a host of details fit for a horror movie—even though they could happen right in your backyard!
