Well maybe he should finish his damn meal then.

Yeah, the skin is the least filling, and he appears to only be eating the faces. So wasteful.

Well, in the books he just ate a hole through each item, so this tracks.

It’s a good meme. But how is it a science meme?

It teaches children the life cycle of bugs. A classic teaching tool.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar introduces Lepidoptera life stage concepts depicting metamorphosis from a ‘hungry caterpillar’ to a ‘beautiful butterfly'; the Royal Entomological Society endorsed the book due to the scientific accuracy of this transformation. (wiki)

Of course he's still hungry, he hasn't finished eating any of the people he bit!

Bad caterpillar! You are not allowed to bite another human until you finish the one you've started!
