I remember in Kindergarten, my teacher bought a couple of caterpillars online, as well as food and a cage. I remember every day we would check their progress, and when they started the process of metomorphosis, the entire class (including me) were amazed. Then I think it was a few weeks before school let off, they hatched and on the last day of school we released them. I will never forget that experience!

Every creature has to struggle to reach its full potential.

I watch videos like this to get me motivated to finish my biology degree

I worked at a butterfly pavilion for 4 years and this process never ceased to amaze me... you go you funky little monarch

That caterpillar is ballin' now, flappin its wings and shit.

Insects go through the most incredible changes between infancy and adulthood. The pupal stage is particularly amazing. Inside the pupa's shell is goop with DNA. That's it. The larval animal that went into that shell is no more. It dissolved. Essentially, it died. Soon, the goop reorganizes itself into something totally different, and soon after that, the adult insect emerges, looking totally unrecognizable compared to its previous form.

Everytime I see a butterfly flying by me, I have nothing but admiration of them for not long ago, it was a humbly n slowly crawling caterpillar n now it can fly with beauty n grace. Just the sights of these little n fragile but amazingly beautiful lives is PURE AWESOME !

There are no words that can express how amazing and perfect God's creativity is.

extreme puberty

Caterpie is evolving

My Monarch butterfly came out 20 minutes ago and it's gorgeous. Next year will be better....I want my tiny garden to burst with life....❤️. I'm so happy 😊...

Nature is a beautiful and complicated thing

This video is a thing of beauty. A small piece of nature, in all her glory. There is so much of nature that we fail to see and when I personally see something like this, I find it truly beautiful and breathtaking. Thank you for the post.

When I was like 6 I was so captivated by butterflies that my mom got me this little kit thing and it was sent with a little book on how to find and safely handle a monarch caterpillar and what time to look for them. I found one and it came with some milkweed leaves and I let this thing hang in this little expandable habitat with sticks and leaves in it and I would watch this little dude eat leaves. And finally the moment had arrived, I come home to a cocoon. I could hardly contain myself I watched for days waiting for the butterfly to emerge. He did, I released him back into the wild. I don't know why I'm saying all of this. But, it really stuck out to me how nature could be so complex and beautiful. Of course, at that age, I just knew that Nature was pretty and it should be kept that way. My mom did the same thing with Ladybugs and I also once hatched a praying mantis egg sack... except that I did not properly seal the habitat and they all came out and almost completely covered one wall in the house. We got most of them out into the yard safely, though. I always thought that I'd be an entomologist one day. I never really followed that dream. I still love this stuff, though. I hope I can provide the same kind of enjoyment and understanding of the beauty of nature to my son who was just born 5 months ago.

I remember I would watch this with my brother about 7 or so years ago when we were little kids and we loved it so much with the music and the visuals. I just wish I could go back, to when life was easier. 7 years and still amazing.

A slow worm wraps itself in a cocoon with no cognitive thought as to why, and it emerges one of the most beautiful creatures in the natural world. Truly magnificent.

It can't get any more alien than this and yet this is a creature of our own planet!. How cool is that

Sort of creepy but nice.

This world is so bizarre when you really think about it, here we are looking for aliens when they're all right in front of us.

1:30 me trying to squeeze into a sleeping bag XD

*flashing spongebob wormy episode in my mind*

Congratulations! Your Caterpie evolved into Metapod!

I dont know why, but i got emotional after watching this. I am a student of Zoology and i admire this world but there are people totally unaware of this asset and are destroying it ruthlessly. May god bring them on right track.

I feel just like 👍this cattapillar. God bless new beginnings 🙏in life. Wishing everyone safe and positive journeys 🙏

butterflies are truly amazing creatures.

it skins itself when it's pushing the shell it's making down it's body. wtf

I noticed a beautiful caterpillar in my garden a few days ago, i used check up on it everyday and I was noticing that it shortened with time, and one day it became hard, and I was wondering what happened to it, at that point I googled about it and I came to know that it's going under a process called chrysalis and will eventually become a butterfly 😭🤍 I'm extremely happy and lucky to witness all these glorious things. I'm waiting patiently for it to become a beautiful butterfly 🦋

Can there be anything more magical than this? It is just a beautiful glimpse of how life evolves.

I once took two moth caterpillars from a park in my town and put them in a glass container with some grass and a stick to cocoon on. One of them cocooned and it was so cool, but the other one ate the cocoo and the cocooned caterpillar inside died and I was like, "Wow what an asshole."

Life is weird.

It’s cool how you can see some of the patterns of the butterfly on the caterpillar before it transforms

Thanks for sharing your amazing video my friend...💕

Such a marvelous & miraculous thing to see a caterpillar metaphormosized into a beautiful butterfly.

It’s so pretty how they are born with all those legs and colors and are practically reborn with wings and different colors. It’s beautiful

How did this get on my reccomend s but it's still good for a 4year video

Insects are absolutely beautiful most times, and we miss them in all their glory

To think this whole process is natural... Think about all the other possible life forms out there in the universe!

I was waiting for Beedrill to cut that Metapod open and then light would come from the wound when it evolves into a Butterfree. But this was cool too.

Love the beautiful butterfly;. soothing to watch.

The pictures don't do the chrysalis justice tbh. That little band towards the top literally looks like someone painted very delicate touches of molten gold there. ❤️❤️❤️ God is an artist. 😆

This made me think about life - and the thoughts were so beautiful I teared up a bit.

did u know the caterpillars liquify in the cocoon, then turns into the butterfly

The transformation is incredible! To be an ugly worm who could only walk and then transform into something beautiful that can fly! If I could be anything I wanted after I died it would definitely be a butterfly 🦋 ✨️

The Monarch butterfly is amazing from birth to death. The metamorphosis itself, along with their 4 generations, where the last one makes that great migration. I’m fortunate to live where I see them often throughout the summer. Last year on my back deck, one hatched from its cocoon and flew just a short distance, sat on my knee drying its new wings. What an awesome sight that was to see such a young one so close. And eventually he flew away, now free to explore the sky.

Existence is mind-blowing and even things that happen all the time are full of awe-inspiring beauty. To experience reality is to trip balls on this psychedelic universe

What? Caterpie is evolving!

Thank you. I saw my first monarch caterpillar months ago, not knowing what it was! Now I know and wanted to see the full cycle.

How beautiful. I came here after seeing for the first time one at my home. We bought the plants at home depot. She finally fly away today

Weird yet beautiful nature

That's insane! I always thought they made a chrysalis that they chilled inside of I have no idea they *became* a chrysalis

Did you know? Butterflies have to dry there wings in the sun before flying.

butterflies are the coolest living creature. They start from that shy, not super cute crawling thing to a fierce and beautiful flying masterpiece.

This is my first time with a butterfly habitat! It has been amazing! God's beautiful creation! The delicate details throughout the cycle.....breathtaking!

Yo, this messes me up hahah

2:20 nice

WOW! So beautiful to watch and see it fly away

Beautiful transformation

You never know how beautiful an disgusting something birthing itself could be.

This is a super cool video of a real caterpillar transforming into a butterfly!

Absolutely amazing.

Just beautiful, fascinating video. Thanks for sharing this

What ever that thing is, IT MUST'VE EATEN WORMY!!!

This is just breathtaking.......

This music brings back memories. I used this music at the end of a class project where I had to film a trip we took to Mount Rushmore for land surveying. I waited for years for that trip... Good memories man. I like the video too.

Fun fact! You can tell a Monarch butterfly's sex by their wings. Males have a spot, females do not. The one in the lab setting that emerged was female and the one on the flower was male. Wayyyy back in elementary school we did a whole lesson on Monarchs and kept them in our classroom from caterpillar to butterfly to release later on. These are fascinating little creatures.

Its weird how they already know what to do obce their born

Truly one of the most amazing creatures on earth

Thank you for beautiful magical video.till then keep smiling with lol politely and healthy safely cocoon.

One of nature’s greatest miracles and one of its biggest mysteries

What? Caterpie evolving. Caterpie evolved into a Metapod! What? Metapod evolving. Metapod evolved into butterfree!

How can you not appreciate nature after watching this video?

Simply awesome

Beautiful.

It’s Gross And amazing at the same time

my mind is actually blown tbh i would have never thought it pushed its way out of its skin like that dang :) love nature

This makes me shiver and itch 😖

Puberty hits them hard xD

This caterpillar.... CAN DO ANYTHING!! ...like if u get the reference

Nature is beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful

Nature can be very beautiful.

Almost every summer I raise these little guys from egg to butterfly and then release them. It's amazing, and I think more people should give it a try.

Nature is a bliss!

Beautiful butterfly

I used to do this when I was a lil boy, grass in a mason jar... caterpillar.. waiting for the cocoon and then the beautiful butterfly.

Me at 2 am : *binge watch metamorphosis*

Thank you❤️

amazing and scaring.

0:45 My anxiety went: *UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP*

Watching this while I literally have a butterfly sitting on my computer. I'd post a photo but can't lol

Amazing! Thanks for posting. Incredible creatures.

Beautiful music and video! Thank you :)

Such a beautiful video great !!background music is so nice

So fantastic 🐛

Nature is so beautiful

Butterflies are my favourite insect, they’re beautiful.

"I can do anything!"

This is so amazing. A caterpillar can make grow thousands of times bigger than it's original size, try to evade bacteria or predators, and create a pupa just turn into a soup. Then, if it's lucky, it turns into a butterfly and only lives either one month or one year. And all I've accomplished in a year is eating, sleeping, and getting through school.

it's kind of so satisfying

Last year lots of these beautiful butterflies came to my island
