    Just the idea of these dramatic transformations are super interesting imo. Imagine if humans shat out a sleeping bag, crawled into it, basically did pregnancy over again, and came out with new limbs that suddenly gave us a new mode of transport.

    That would be sick. I guess puberty is sorta like this but idk, it doesn’t feel as dramatic

      I really wonder what happened in your puberty to be “sorta like this”

      First, the caterpillar digests itself, releasing enzymes to dissolve all of its tissues. If you were to cut open a cocoon or chrysalis at just the right time, caterpillar soup would ooze out.

        What’s really screwy is memories survive that process. You can do Pavlov’s dog type training on a caterpillar. The resultant butterfly will still react to the trigger.

        The brain goes through a liquid phase, but still manages to maintain its wiring!

          The chrysalis process is amazing.

        What, you didn’t crawl into your puberty sac and grow your sex organs?

        ‘Sorta like this’ meaning: we undergo some physical changes (height, body hair, hormones, etc) but nowhere near as dramatic as eating yourself and reassembling

        Nature/chem/physics is fuckin’ cool

      The crazy thing is they completely liquify in the pupa and reconstitute from the goo.

      It worked… or it will work? for Jeffrey Sinclair and Delenn. Just don’t think too hard about which one of them did it / has done it / will do it first.

      And the closest thing to a moth wasn’t either of those.
