Parent and Child Caterpillars? 親子イモムシ?

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

I thought of it as a stem or a small twig, but it had something protruding and orange spots. It resembled a lot the black caterpillar I saw a few days ago. Then I realized that it was also a small caterpillar (2nd photo)! It's like a child of the bigger one, isn't it? The bigger one looks like holding the smaller one in its mouth, but both were holding on to a stem separately and independently!! By the way, the caterpillar I saw a few days ago was still on the same leaf in the same place (3rd photo). I didn't know that caterpillars could be that patient!   

Parent and child? 親子?

最初、小枝かと思ったのですが何やら突き出ているものがある。よく見たらなんとちっちゃいイモムシ(2枚目)。二匹合わせると親子イモムシに見えます。大きい方が小さい方をくわえているように見えますが、二匹ともちゃんとそれぞれ小枝にへばりついていました。自主独立です。ちなみに数日前に見た黒いちっちゃいイモムシ。今朝も同じ場所の同じ葉の上にいました(3枚目)。
