Most of the insect articles we've ever used have been Tracy's original, like the ticks and the fleas, and I don't think ants, but bees probably, wasps.

I mean, she wrote a lot of them, and this one about caterpillars was from Tracy, along with stuff from World Atlas in the 88 and breedingbutterflies.com.

But I just realized today when I was researching this some more that we haven't done butterflies yet.

Which is shocking.

We've done one.

We did the wings, like the iridescence.

Yeah, but not a standalone on butterflies.

So we're going to talk about their counterpart.

And one of the facts of the episode already for me is that caterpillars that eventually turn into butterflies, it's the same species.

It's still the same thing.

You didn't?

I just figured it, like, well, now it's something else, like, entirely.

Oh, sure.

Okay.

I knew how it happened, but I thought it was like, presto chango, now you're not whatever Latin name you are.

You're a new Latin name.

Ew.

Yeah.

And it was also one of those where I just kept looking and kept looking.

I was like, how has this been sitting here under our noses all this time?
