What else?

There's another thing, too, that we haven't quite figured out.

And we, I mean the entomology world.

And by we, I also mean them.

It may or may not be advantageous to live in a gregarious community as opposed to being solitary.

Because, yes, it's easier to build a big shelter for yourself if you have a bunch of other friends helping you.

It's easier to find food if you have other people looking at the same time you are and then telling you what they found.

But at the same time, you're also competing with those same people, or those same caterpillars, I should say.

And that can be a big problem, too.

Yeah, pretty neat.

And this is where the terminology gets really confusing if you do any research on this.

So the pupa is often referred to as the form, the body form that the centipede or that the caterpillar is in as it enters the transformation.

Right.

Yes.

It's actually the life stage.

Like the caterpillar is the larval life stage.

The butterfly or the moth is the adult.

The pupa is the life stage in between.

But for all intents and purposes, you can also say that's a butterfly pupa or that's a moth pupa, right?

That's the easiest, most understandable part of it.
