We should do a two.

Huh.

But did you know about the transformation in the chrysalis or cocoon and everything?

Did you know they did it?

Oh, gotcha.

So, like, they just became a completely different animal, basically, or a different insect.

Yeah.

Okay, I got you.

Yeah, no, they're the same thing.

They're just configured differently.

Yeah, they got wings.

Like a transformer.

Like they go from boombox to robot with a gun.

You know, but in a much more organic, soupy way, as we'll see.

I love this one, Chuck.

Like, every kid knows about caterpillars.

You go look at them in the garden and everything, and they're super cute and weird looking, and you learn the hard way not to touch some of them.

But I did not know a lot of this stuff either, and it's endlessly fascinating to me, especially if you step back and think about –

a life stage where an organism undergoes such a complete transformation that their cells, they break themselves down to their cells and then are rebuilt into a new version.

Not that many animals do that.
