Reminds me of this terrifying thing

From my understanding the virus hijacks their motor function making the insect unable to do respond to its environment or senses. It will still feel pain, hunger and fight or flight impuses yet is unable to respond. Truly pretty crazy stuff!

I’d assume exposure/dehydration. The virus controls all movement, so it makes the caterpillar walk up a plant and doesn’t have it move again. Efficient and likely a trafficed area by other caterpillars as well I’d bet.
We should eat them that we also get this! Just like we did with bats!
