[@mrheal420]

more importantly how the fuck did they teach a caterpillar to solve a puzzle??

[@wangruochuan]

its grossly impressive

[@GigaPhoenix9001]

Probably the same way a mouse would start remembering how to go though the mazes to cheese, repetition.

[@jacksainthill8974]

I was surprised to be told that caterpillars were incredulous. If I believed that then I'd be... Well, at least I wouldn't be a caterpillar.

[@SamuelHiti]

Yeh. wtf.

[@ryanad2000]

good question how the heck does one teach a caterpillar to do anything?

[@JoCoBrony]

If only puberty were this easy for humans. Just stay in your home for ten days, turn into soup, and you become an adult.

[@konoha1993]

and we complain over puberty

[@massimodistasi9514]

Yea us humans are so spoiled as a society

[@raydelrativo1409]

Actually, the caterpillars are not conscious during the transformation, it cannot feel anything while being digested by its own digestive juice

[@massimodistasi9514]

Yea but still and they don't process reality like us either so...

[@maydayzone8798]

James Langley------ Soooo true

[@ryanad2000]

That just made me realised... am I the only human being on this planet thats glad I went through puberty?

[@qbmac2306]

What happens if you accidentally press B during that week long pupa phase?

[@Nexturz]

You get a Metapod

[@rastko7261]

Or Kakuna Or Silcoon Or Cascoon Or Shelmet Believe me, I'm a Pokemon

[@lokekennee8850]

[@fardstudio5771]

You get Sil-Soup

[@SeelTheDealArt]

my mom told me the wings we're inside the caterpillar...LIAR

[@phycov1217]

Technically, she is right.

[@ryanad2000]

Phycov how is she right the caterpillar ate it self and then remade it self kids are just taught this for obvious reasons. However that does seem more practical for that to happen but nope nature has to be weird.

[@phycov1217]

I am aware of how it works. I was making a rather strained but true statement on a technicality for a bit of a joke. If you can't see what that technicality is, you aren't a bright cookie. I will give you a clue, the bloke above you got it spot on.

[@thecrusher2293]

Killer SEELstar were*

[@combativeThinker]

Well, she is technically correct, seeing as how the caterpillar itself (including its insides) dissolves and then reforms into the butterfly, wings and all.

[@TheNoerdy]

I always just assumed it was magic.

[@Findingio]

[@mr_discosheep_823]

[@fry1757]

Butterflies are badasses

[@KittyBoom360]

If that's not magic, then what is?

[@libitina9519]

[@rubikfan1]

so what happen if you mix liquids from 2 catapillars?

[@SirChocula]

It turns into a Beedrill

[@hackitsoft]

A frankenpillar - obviously...

[@drewidlifestyle7883]

I bet scientists are working on this. Pesticide resistant pollinating butterflies could help the slumping bee population

[@HellsJerome87]

An homunculus

[@l.l.j.rouwet]

It will die if you open it.

[@Shaggy2286]

Wait wait wait, they taught a caterpillar to solve a puzzle... then somehow got the butterfly into the same puzzle and it solved it? I'd like to see those videos. lol

[@dogodog1247]

Shaggy2286 a caterpillar was given shocks while exposed to a smell. Once as butterflies,they avoided the smells that once gave them shocks

[@lizrose369]

[@meroastisruined3039]

I just noticed that I haven't seen a caterpillar for 7 years

[@Cragmortis]

I remember I would just walk down the street to an old dudes house,he kept his bushes trimmed,there would be caterpillars all over them. You look up in the tree,there is a whole silk bed covered with them. Now I go back there,the trees and bushes are dead and the owner is gone. I miss seeing them. They were always fascinating

[@jacksainthill8974]

Where are you living? Antarctica? ;) I've seen no small tortoiseshell larvae at all this year. It's been dreadful weather for them in the UK.

[@Ayverie4]

I feel like I never see their nests anymore. When I was a kid we had them in our backyard and I would play with the caterpillars. I remember noticing them everywhere, in trees along the road, but no more.

[@magiv4205]

+Ayverie Ablaze Last year I drove home from school with my bike, and I passed by the old airport outside of town. The street I was driving is straight and two-laned, and there are some apple trees and lots of scrawny and thorny bushes on the sides, otherwise there's not much but plain fields. So I was driving along this street in late spring, and when I looked to my right, for a moment I thought it had snowed, because the bushes were all covered in a white sheen. But then I remembered that it was almost summer, and I got off my bike and looked again. I was first HORRIFIED, then amazed, because every single one of those bushes was in fact covered in spiderwebs, only it weren't spiderwebs, because inside of them, there was a writhing mass of TENS OF THOUSANDS of dark larvaes from whatever butterfly species that was. The branches were so covered in them that I couldn’t see them anymore at parts. I could downright watch the creatures as they ate the bushes bare, and when I shook a branch slightly, batches of the larvaes would fall to the ground. I was simultaneously grossed out, creeped out and also amazed, because I had never seen such a massive hatching in my life. There must've been hundreds of thousands of larvaes on all the bushes together. I never thought I would once be able to witness this and probably won't again.

[@BflyMom_212]

The Monarch butterfly is becoming extinct. I use to see them as a child too. I read they're being killed by Round Up Weed killer. Monarch butterfly only eats milkweed. But, when it rains and someone has used weed killer, it goes systemically into the Butterfly milkweed. The worm eats it and is killed. I use to use weed killer until I read the article. Now against it. It goes into the ocean eventually too. All the chemicals that are killing the Beautiful Monarch butterfly & what more? I would like My grandkids to experience nature like I did. At this rate there won't be any by the time they grow up & have kid's. I have a Butterfly garden with milkweed. I plant it in pots so no poison gets to them. The amount of eggs is amazing but, the chances of them survival is the knowledge of pesticides and what it does to nature. Wildlife too is so close to extinction too. Buy some milkweed from the nursery's & plant them in a safe area. Mine grow year round in southern California. They use to migrate to Mexico but they are chopping up the Forest's there. it's so rare to see one & the pure magic of nature and how they go through all the different levels of life to be a Butterfly is amazing. Help the Butterfly, monarch butterfly if you live in warmer climates. It's a great feeling to give LIFE!!

[@sullivan342]

Do caterpillars know they're going to be butterflies or do they just start building a cocoon like dude what the fuck am I doing?

[@ryanad2000]

Good question but I would imagine the hole thing to be painful especially the eating it self part I would not like to be a caterpillar who new something as beautiful as a butter fly has such a gross back ground XD

[@enchantingdream7011]

lol

[@mekonggiantcatfish202]

pretty sure it's instinct

[@melast7030]

The magic caterpillar fairy tells them to do it or else she turns them all into ugly mosquitoes

[@PhyreI3ird]

ryanad 2000 Do caterpillars even have the nerves to feel pain? Actually even if they did, id be very surprised if the nerves didn't sort of shut down as or before the process began since there's no need to receive those pain signals and all. Seems it would be counter productive for their own bodies to discourage via pain what the body wants and needs to do.

[@Recon-bs5nc]

I learn more facts from him then in school

[@Theendman42]

Ain't that just the truth.

[@Theendman42]

BH2000 I would say you learn better (at least a lot do) watching videos than in school, as you are sitting and listening to a lecture and taking notes. And even being passionate about the topic you still will just not learn. Unless it is taught in a fun way, but it isn't taught in a fun way 98% of the time.

[@Theendman42]

BH2000 Yes I like math too, and I agree with you, however physics isn't bad when you have to use math equations to solve things. I like that the most as you see a purpose to the math formulas.

[@Theendman42]

[@thekingofmcpe235]

If scientists figured out how that magic "goop" works, could they make it turn into things other than a buterfly if they got enough of it? Like could they force it to form a human, or dog, or something? What about in like billions of years

[@poiuytrewq11422]

That'd take a whole lot of goop. And be EXTREMELY complicated. Kind of like comparing a movement from 5th to 6th grade, and a movement from 5th to Harvard University.

[@matts.7667]

poiuytrewq11422 yea not to mention the butterfly still has the same chemical make-up so it is NEAR impossible for it to change into a human or something else like that... If anything it might just become a bigger butterfly.

[@sept836]

That is and interesting idea possibly.

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

No. The "goop" is specially evolved to from a butterfly, and only a butterfly. Getting it to from anything else like, say, a puppy, would be no less difficult that simply trying to create a puppy from raw materials rather than breeding existing dogs. You'd need a completely different set of enzymes an nucleic acids.

[@jaimeflor4181]

We had those same type of caterpillars in my old neighborhood. I made 2 attempts to keep a caterpillar alive through its transitioning phase into a butterfly. The 1st one escaped, & I accidentally stepped on it. The second 1, I cut off the section of the plant it was on, then placed in a plastic fish bowl. This time it was enclosed, but it had openings on the top, so it could get fresh air. I think it was partially luck, & good timing, because within in 1 week it began its cocooning process. From there, I just waited until it emerged. It was an interesting process to observe, & I set it free immediately. It looked the same as the 1 in this video, black yellowish-orange wings.

[@NickHawaii]

This is enough for me to believe the metamorphosis process is evidence of design. 🐛 to 🦋 = Intelligent Design

[@MickiB_Is4916]

No other way. This cannot just "happen" right 😉 It's definitely a God thing

[@NickHawaii]

@@MickiB_Is4916 Definitely. And think about the variety of butterflies as well. If you saw a new butterfly everyday since you were born it would take some 55 years to see them all! Incredible!!

[@remyposees]

[@localbtsfancam]

Every year I find moth caterpillars in my yard. They're so furry and cute I cant help but let them live! Sometimes I even pick them up and pet them as it crawls on my hand. This is the only part of its life it gets love from me. Once, I hit a moth with a flyswatter so hard I could hear the impact louder than a high five.

[@AKASpartex]

:C thats mean petting a moth with the intentions of swatting it when its grown up

[@localbtsfancam]

I never once said I intended to. what I didnt say is that grown moths scare me, so I swat them if they get inside my house and too close for comfort.

[@larryhadalittlelamb]

but what if it was one of the caterpillars trying to reconnect with you and then you killed it

I would feel bad if I knew that. :( IM SORRY I JUST HAVE A STRANGE PHOBIA OF MOTHS. And spiders... And many other things...

[@tayloryoung9661]

Imagine future humans going through a similar metamorphosis. One day, when they are old and wrinkly, they sit down for the longest sleep of their lives. 10 years they sit, their insides turning into liquid and hardening. Over the course of the next 10 years, the human would begin to resolidify and create an entirely new species all together. Wings would burst out of the backs while their strength and endurance would be greatly improved. Their eyes would have changed to be a dark purple. Over the course of the next 10 days, their hair would turn a pale grey and grow to a moderate length.

Need something to cheer me up after watching all of the salad fingers series :P

[@iluvgtasan]

Thoughty2. Lets go for a pint.

[@summerhaven32086]

Mind if I tag along?

[@shamarao.9534]

Me too... Please take me... ☺

[@yolandabirston852]

We are the true natural wonder because how do we know that they retain their memories from when they were a caterpillar 🐛🧐

[@Soappp]

What if i cut a pupa open carefully and put the soup in a sandwich bag and let it sit for 9 days would it become a butterfly? ;o

[@emmarose4234]

Soap, I don’t want to think about that! 🤮

[@Mikeanglo]

Yes there's nothing so beautiful and also fucking disgusting as nature...

[@monkeydetonation]

So the caterpillar is kind of like the egg for a butterfly?

[@jaygon8656]

Does the caterpillar's brain stay intact during metamorphosis?

[@imded6901]

I haven't seen a caterpillar since I was born. And now that I've found one, I keep visiting it and feeding it. I watched this since my caterpillar changed its color.

[@valkyria086]

I'm more amazed that somebody has made puzzles for the caterpillar and the butterflies.

[@mja5543]

Who came from Phil because _same_ and now I know why he was so traumatised

[@AlmostEthical]

Another excellent presentation. My understanding is that the organised cell groups are called imaginal discs and that these discs do the liquefying (until now they have lain dormant in the caterpillar). At first the caterpillar's immune system identifies the imaginal discs as a threat, and they too are dissolved. Each imaginal disc will eventually grow into a particular body structure and the discs use the "soup" they created as resources for its growth. Kind of like us.

[@kwandangubane9419]

MTV pimp my caterpillar.

[@smellthel]

This is completely amazing!

[@mikeymai178]

Educational yess. Thanks Phil! Phandom?Hi.

[@BltchErica]

If the caterpillar liquidizes then doesn't that mean that it gets a new brain and it's a totally different being? How does it remember it's previous life?

[@BltchErica]

If that's possible, why wouldn't reincarnation be possible?

[@combativeThinker]

Because reincarnation doesn't involve people turning into soup, lol.

[@FlixTV101]

Such a simple organism, and yet, the metamorphosis is so complex no one know how it's done. And then people say this happened by accident...

[@willguggn2]

Flix Who says that?

[@combativeThinker]

Evolutionary biologists as well as atheists from the depths of 4chan.

[@loic2205]

I love your channel!! Keep up the great work :D

[@PILOSOPAUL]

I can't seem to find a credible source that talks about the caterpillar-to-butterfly memory retention in puzzle/problem solving

[@GAZAMAN93X]

hmmm... I wonder what will happen if you experiment on a Caterpillar with The Progenitor or T-Virus....we should spread this idea to Capcom.

[@GAZAMAN93X]

since its Leech DNA that is mixed with the Progenitor Virus leads to the creation of the T-Virus it'll be interesting to see what happens when it's experimented on with a Caterpillar.

[@swr2437]

Oh god.....

[@GAZAMAN93X]

SWR24 hmm?

[@swr2437]

(It's a joke)

[@combativeThinker]

Look up Reaper Bird and you'll get an idea of what zombie butterflies would be like.

[@WeAreNotAfraidofFire]

One was crawling on my motorcycle kickstand. Put little dude in a tree. Hope to see him flying around in a few days.

[@4thecupgaming452]

Hi

[@arturo7926]

Good job! Do a video on metamorphasis on frogs!

[@joshbray5036]

I learned more from this guy in six minutes than what I get out of school in a month! You go Thoughty2! Staying subscribed.
