The Very Hungary Caterpillar

April 18, 2018

I found this little video on a friend’s Facebook page and couldn’t resist sharing it. It’s from Deep Look – PBS. Enjoy!

Why Is The Very Hungry Caterpillar So Dang Hungry?

It's hoarding protein! Not just for itself, but for the butterfly it will become and every egg that butterfly will lay. And it's about to lose its mouth… as it wriggles out of its skin during metamorphosis.

Thank you Rick Webb for making me aware of this great little video.
