I can't get enough of these time-lapse caterpiller-to-moth/butterfly transformations. Nature is absolutely awe-inspiring.

(25,848 posts)1. All I can say is, isn't evolution amazing?
I also wish I knew more about how moths and butterflies evolved, just what forces set in motion the process that resulted in those creatures.

I just don't get how they can go from that gelatinous stage to a butterfly. Nature is soooo amazing.

with my First Graders. It really is amazing. After the moths lay the eggs they die and you can put the eggs in the fridge for a year to keep them in a hibernating state. Then when the Mulberry leaves are big enough to feed a new batch of worms the next year you take the eggs out and two weeks later the hatch ant then they eat, shed, eat, shed, eat, shed..... You could her 200 worms eating and the kids said they sounded like "rain".
