      I was surprised to be told that caterpillars were incredulous.
      If I believed that then I'd be... Well, at least I wouldn't be a caterpillar.

      I am aware of how it works. I was making a rather strained but true statement on a technicality for a bit of a joke. If you can't see what that technicality is, you aren't a bright cookie. I will give you a clue, the bloke above you got it spot on.

      Well, she is technically correct, seeing as how the caterpillar itself (including its insides) dissolves and then reforms into the butterfly, wings and all.

      I remember I would just walk down the street to an old dudes house,he kept his bushes trimmed,there would be caterpillars all over them. You look up in the tree,there is a whole silk bed covered with them. Now I go back there,the trees and bushes are dead and the owner is gone. I miss seeing them. They were always fascinating

      I feel like I never see their nests anymore. When I was a kid we had them in our backyard and I would play with the caterpillars. I remember noticing them everywhere, in trees along the road, but no more.

    • @magiv4205
      @magiv4205 Před 7 lety +6

      +Ayverie Ablaze Last year I drove home from school with my bike, and I passed by the old airport outside of town. The street I was driving is straight and two-laned, and there are some apple trees and lots of scrawny and thorny bushes on the sides, otherwise there's not much but plain fields. So I was driving along this street in late spring, and when I looked to my right, for a moment I thought it had snowed, because the bushes were all covered in a white sheen. But then I remembered that it was almost summer, and I got off my bike and looked again. I was first HORRIFIED, then amazed, because every single one of those bushes was in fact covered in spiderwebs, only it weren't spiderwebs, because inside of them, there was a writhing mass of TENS OF THOUSANDS of dark larvaes from whatever butterfly species that was. The branches were so covered in them that I couldn’t see them anymore at parts. I could downright watch the creatures as they ate the bushes bare, and when I shook a branch slightly, batches of the larvaes would fall to the ground.
      I was simultaneously grossed out, creeped out and also amazed, because I had never seen such a massive hatching in my life. There must've been hundreds of thousands of larvaes on all the bushes together. I never thought I would once be able to witness this and probably won't again.

      The Monarch butterfly is becoming extinct. I use to see them as a child too. I read they're being killed by Round Up Weed killer. Monarch butterfly only eats milkweed. But, when it rains and someone has used weed killer, it goes systemically into the Butterfly milkweed. The worm eats it and is killed. I use to use weed killer until I read the article. Now against it. It goes into the ocean eventually too. All the chemicals that are killing the Beautiful Monarch butterfly & what more? I would like My grandkids to experience nature like I did. At this rate there won't be any by the time they grow up & have kid's. I have a Butterfly garden with milkweed. I plant it in pots so no poison gets to them. The amount of eggs is amazing but, the chances of them survival is the knowledge of pesticides and what it does to nature. Wildlife too is so close to extinction too. Buy some milkweed from the nursery's & plant them in a safe area. Mine grow year round in southern California. They use to migrate to Mexico but they are chopping up the Forest's there. it's so rare to see one & the pure magic of nature and how they go through all the different levels of life to be a Butterfly is amazing. Help the Butterfly, monarch butterfly if you live in warmer climates. It's a great feeling to give LIFE!!

      ryanad 2000 Do caterpillars even have the nerves to feel pain? Actually even if they did, id be very surprised if the nerves didn't sort of shut down as or before the process began since there's no need to receive those pain signals and all. Seems it would be counter productive for their own bodies to discourage via pain what the body wants and needs to do.

      BH2000 I would say you learn better (at least a lot do) watching videos than in school, as you are sitting and listening to a lecture and taking notes. And even being passionate about the topic you still will just not learn. Unless it is taught in a fun way, but it isn't taught in a fun way 98% of the time.

    If scientists figured out how that magic "goop" works, could they make it turn into things other than a buterfly if they got enough of it? Like could they force it to form a human, or dog, or something? What about in like billions of years

    • @poiuytrewq11422

      No. The "goop" is specially evolved to from a butterfly, and only a butterfly. Getting it to from anything else like, say, a puppy, would be no less difficult that simply trying to create a puppy from raw materials rather than breeding existing dogs. You'd need a completely different set of enzymes an nucleic acids.

    Every year I find moth caterpillars in my yard. They're so furry and cute I cant help but let them live! Sometimes I even pick them up and pet them as it crawls on my hand. This is the only part of its life it gets love from me. Once, I hit a moth with a flyswatter so hard I could hear the impact louder than a high five.

      :C thats mean petting a moth with the intentions of swatting it when its grown up

    • @localbtsfancam
      @localbtsfancam Před 7 lety +2

      I never once said I intended to. what I didnt say is that grown moths scare me, so I swat them if they get inside my house and too close for comfort.

      We had eastern tent caterpillars outside our house, and I caught one once and snuck it into the house in an old Crayola tin. My mom just had to ask “What’s in there?” in that I-know-you’re-hiding-something tone.

    We had those same type of caterpillars in my old neighborhood. I made 2 attempts to keep a caterpillar alive through its transitioning phase into a butterfly. The 1st one escaped, & I accidentally stepped on it. The second 1, I cut off the section of the plant it was on, then placed in a plastic fish bowl. This time it was enclosed, but it had openings on the top, so it could get fresh air. I think it was partially luck, & good timing, because within in 1 week it began its cocooning process. From there, I just waited until it emerged. It was an interesting process to observe, & I set it free immediately. It looked the same as the 1 in this video, black yellowish-orange wings.

    If you like this video and now think caterpillars and butterflies are neat, you can buy little kits for like 20 bucks that come with everything for larva to turn in to caterpillars and then butterflies, and then you can release them in your yard. Oh, and it comes with like 3-5 larva, and a little mesh enclosure.

    Imagine future humans going through a similar metamorphosis. One day, when they are old and wrinkly, they sit down for the longest sleep of their lives. 10 years they sit, their insides turning into liquid and hardening. Over the course of the next 10 years, the human would begin to resolidify and create an entirely new species all together. Wings would burst out of the backs while their strength and endurance would be greatly improved. Their eyes would have changed to be a dark purple. Over the course of the next 10 days, their hair would turn a pale grey and grow to a moderate length.
