I don't know.

Because it's right up our alley to talk about something like caterpillars.

Yeah, kind of shark-like.

And as Tracy points out, it's a very singular purpose.

And that same butterfly has a singular purpose later on, which is propagating the species, if you know what I'm saying.

But the caterpillar, yeah, it's very shark-like.

All it does is eat and store food and poop it out.

And they eat so much that apparently they say that they can eat as much as 27 times their body size in their fairly short life.

Yeah.

And they can end up being about 100 times bigger by the time they go to pupate, which is when they, you know, hole up and turn into the butterfly.

Mm-hmm.

is when they pop out of that little egg that they also eat.

That's amazing.

Yeah, they're very pretty.

But yeah, that thing, I mean, it starts eating.

It eats its way out of the egg.

Then it says, well, I'll just eat the rest of the egg.

And you know what?

That's how it starts.

I'm going to go ahead and eat this leaf that the egg is sitting on as well while I'm at it.
