The World's Greatest Animal Adaptation

Did you know baby butterflies were caterpillars? Ok, fair enough. But did you know why a butterfly's life cycle has to include both a larva and a pupa? In this video, we'll explore the rarely talked about subject of why this type of metamorphosis evolved in some animals, and what advantages it provides.

I love the start of this being much like a classic school. Starting from our assumptions, finding their lacking, and filling in from there! Now that’s a way to learn

Where has this channel been all my life. So happy to see someone who just gets it, invertebrates are cool and biology can be even cooler when you look closely

[@adhdlama2403]

Insect evolution is so strange. Happy to have gotten this in my recommended 👌

[@sidders1943]

Genuinely one of the best channels on the platform

[@brotherbeltonyou7815]

They say a perfect channel doesn’t exist

[@AxderGW]

Probably one of ky favorite new channels I've discovered. Love this and I've wanted a video on chrysalises for a long time.

@arachnorion Im getting a feeling you might be a teacher, are you?
