Passage Summary: Caterpillars leave scent trails, and the ones leading to food are extra smelly. This suggests they are telling their friends where the snacks are.

Conclusion: Tent caterpillars likely participate in communal foraging by sharing food locations with the colony.

Reasoning: Caterpillars leave chemical trails, and the paths leading back from food sources are marked more heavily than paths that did not lead to food.

Analysis: The argument assumes that the heavier scent trails are actually intended for and used by other caterpillars. Just because a trail is 'more heavily marked' doesn't mean other colony members follow it or even perceive it as a signal. To strengthen this, we need evidence that these pheromones actually influence the behavior of other caterpillars. Look for an answer that confirms other members of the nest use these specific chemical traces to locate food sources.
