Egg to Monarch Butterfly

The development of a Monarch Butterfly, from egg to winged adult.

[@rakshajain7034]

Its so nice that caterpillars just get to eat and eat and eat without worrying about becoming fat and at the end they turn into a gorgeous butterfly no mater how much they eat!!!

[@ElToland]

Pokemon "evolution" it's just a glorified metamorphosis. True evolution takes millenia or even millions of years, and it has the purpose for a creature to adapt and survive, not just becoming bigger or stronger than before.

It'll always amaze me seeing how caterpillars turn into butterflies, not only monarch ones. They literally become an entire different animal, nature is awesome.

[@BBQJester]

Humans go through puberty too and become a totally different person once the cycle complete after a few years.

[@galegorgeous8857]

@@BBQJester Hunans don’t turn into eggs halfway through life or grow wings at age 60

[@martinphilip8998]

In insects with simple metamorphosis the young look much like the adults, lacking only wings usually. Think of a tiny praying mantis. It looks like a praying mantis already. With beetles and butterflies they look totally different.

[@cmdomino2000]

No offense intended, but that is that is one of the saddest things I've ever read. Cannot imagine a childhood without butterflies on fingers or placed on ones head ( or nose, ha!) Where did you grow up?

[@Duckling_dragons]

I can't even get near them

[@gajendrasonare]

How the caterpillar know that he need to change its form without any guidance of parents? It's absolutely mind blowing that he knows the whole process perfectly. Big brain insect.

[@palaknehra06]

It's coded in its genes (DNA)🤔🧐

[@silverwoodlawn4913]

The genetic coding is what signals something to the animalia. These animals know their natural processes because it is what they're supposed to do.

[@roelin360]

Idk how much of it is something they are actually aware of vs something they just sort of do because genetics makes them do it. They may barely be thinking at all.

How amazing! Thanks for the patient recording of the whole process.

[@RedHeadForester]

I've kept Vapourer moths as "pets" before here in the UK, so I've seen a lot of this process - they, too, look cool as caterpillars, and the adults are quite interesting as the females just have tiny little wing stubs and sit on the cocoon emitting a pheromone to attract the males (hence, "vapourer" moth). This is a brilliant video. It didn't feel like it was 8 minutes long! Thank you for going to the effort of putting this together and sharing with us.

[@lordfriar8736]

Back in Kindergarten, we had this kit that had us see the caterpillar transform into a chrysalis in this gigantic tank with sugar water sponges, sticks and leaves, and then transform into a monarch butterfly. It flew around the tank for the rest of the school year until it died. Fascinating experience truly.
