Inchworm

The looping movement of the spring cankerworm is typical of caterpillars in the family Geometridae.  This family, often called inchworms, lacks several of the middle prolegs (feet) of most other caterpillars. As a result the caterpillar makes use of "abdominal crunches" to quickly move along a twig or other pathway.
