Caterpillar and aphid attire was fairly functional, consisting usually of a shirt or tunic on the top half of the body and a kilt covering the waist and thighs. Some favoured robes similar to the toga, but this was less popular as they restricted movement. Caterpillars and Aphids did not wear trousers because there had been no cause for trousers to be developed. Trousers only arose as clothing due to humans discovering how to ride horses and needing protection for their legs. Caterpillars had no riding animals, and had chitinous limbs anyway, so trousers were rather pointless. Butterflies usually didn't wear clothing apart from purely decorative pieces., their chitinous forms being seen by them as a symbol of their authority.
