Sliced caterpillars were used as an ingredient in the Shrinking Solution.[3] In 1993, while learning to prepare this potion during a lesson with Professor Severus Snape, Harry Potter was so angered by Draco Malfoy's admission that he was exaggerating the severity of his arm injury in an attempt to get Rubeus Hagrid sacked that he accidentally cut the head off one of his caterpillars.[3] Draco then ordered Ron Weasley to slice his caterpillars for him on the pretense that his injury prevented him from doing so himself.[3]
