Butterfly-a is a butterfly.

But yes, Mothra, before achieving the flying state, was a caterpillar.

A silkworm, literally, that blew out lots and lots of stuff.

Silkworm, again, you get the regional culture.

That's right.

And so there was actually one of the great monster movies of all time.

It was a collab.

They had Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan together to fight King Ghidorah.

Which had three heads and was very, very dangerous and was like brought in from alien.

King Ghidorah was not a product of Earth.

It was an evil monster.

That wasn't just the one I saw.

And in fact, there's episodes, we keep calling it episodes, but they're just individual movies.

But the franchises have become so huge that they're almost like individual episodes.

But at least in one movie that I saw a long time ago, I don't remember the exact details of it.

When Charles says he doesn't remember the exact details...

Okay.

And the eggs hatched, and there were two new Mothras.

The scientist says knowingly, yes, multiple births are common in the natural world, or the insect world, or whichever world it was he was talking about.

But that kind of connection between these monsters being representations of nature...
