One of the best places to find caterpillars in Fields of Mistria is by shaking trees that grow on The Eastern Road, as marked on the map below as an example.

Once you have a bug net equipped, simply approach a caterpillar with the net, and tap the interact button to grab it when standing close enough. It's also possible that some merchants might stock caterpillars at other times in the game, such as in Balor's Wagon near the town when his stock rotates.
