Butterfly!

Well, I learned some really awesome information about butterflies a while back that I'd like to share. Btw, pardon me if I get some of the information screwed up.

There’s all these little caterpillars beboppin’ around. When it comes time, the caterpillars make their cocoons in order to change into a butterfly, and when they do, they completely liquefy in the cocoon. As in, everything - organs, skin, little feet, it’s all liquid slurry (as my dad called it). Then the gooey glop (yes, that is a technical term) is transformed into a butterfly. Pretty awesome, huh.

Well, they did some tests (they most likely being some butterfly/moth scientists) and they took some caterpillars and gave them three or four different types of vegetation. On one of the plants they put some kind of smell. (like pepperoni pizza for example) and then every time the caterpillar would go after that plant it would get an electrical shock. Zzzzap! Well, after a while of getting zapped, the caterpillars got smart. Every time one smelled that smell, it would squirm away as fast as it’s little legs would go. (Just goes to show you that a caterpillar can be taught) Well, then came the cocoon. Like I said before, the caterpillar turns into fluid goo, and then it works its way (rather, God transforms it) into, in this case, a moth. As you’ve probably guessed, the moth would not touch the “pepperoni pizza” plant. It would fly away from even the smell. Hm? So, was the information passed through the DNA of the caterpillar to the moth? How else could it have been transmitted?

God is so amazing beyond words! This is just a little reminder of how His creation is so complex. We aren’t even close to figuring out all the little gizmos and gadgets He’s fashioned so beautifully. Thank you, God, for butterflies. Amen.
