Caterpillars have a major activity and may be practically just that activity, namely eating. The main food of most caterpillars is fresh green foliage that contains nutrients and nutrients. This is due to the caterpillar requires self preparation to undergo a period of exile so as not to hunger and thirst.
Caterpillars also have toxic and scary forms. This serves to protect itself from predators.
The caterpillar has 3 pairs of fixed legs that serve to support itself. Not only predators, most people are afraid of this animal. Because many people are afraid of its shape and its effect when exposed to the skin.
If the skin is exposed to caterpillars will usually arise itching and allergies due to the toxins that come from the skin and feathers. In addition, caterpillars also have a color diverse. But generally he has a scary color like black, red, orange, yellow, green and brown.
Caterpillars can also swell their heads so that predators do not eat it. The poison that can also come from toxic plants that he intentionally ate. After the caterpillar grows large enough to reach 5 cm long then he is ready to undergo the next stage of the phase of a pupa or cocoon.
In the next stage the caterpillar will make a shell or usually called a cocoon. The cocoon shell is made with a leaf wrapped around itself by utilizing a special thread from within itself which is partly silk or all is silk.
This stage usually lasts for 12 days. The caterpillar will sleep for 12 days until he will come out and change into a stunning animal, the butterfly.
At this stage the caterpillar will digest itself to apply the enzyme in itself until it leaves an essential component of itself that will later compose itself into a butterfly so the caterpillar will torture itself in order to receive a better life in the future.
So amazing came from some research that when the caterpillar has become a butterfly he still put a piece of memory when he was still a caterpillar.
This is because there is a neuron component neurons that are not digested by the enzyme even though all the components themselves run out so that the caterpillar brain neurons will still be stored and entered in the new brain in the butterfly.
So it is actually still a mystery that has not been solved. In addition to nerve neurons, other components that are not digested are specialized embryonic cells that are owned by caterpillars since they are still an egg.
Embryonic cells that are still intact are applied by the caterpillar in the workings of the preparation of the butterfly body. Each component of the body has its own embryo for example there are wing embryos, body embryos, embryonic antennae and embryonic cells of other butterfly organs.
After 12 days have passed, the cocoon is ready to become a butterfly and needs a tremendous power to get out of the cocoon of such a thing.
Thus it is appropriate degan based on research that received the results that butterflies only weigh 3 times lighter than the weight when it becomes a cocoon. Means butterflies apply most of its power.
Having made it out of the cocoon with a truly remarkable method. The butterfly will use some kind of liquid in itself to soften the cocoon shell and then use its claws to tear the cocoon of such a thing.
Upon successful exit the butterfly will do the drying and self-development. This phase runs for only a few hours and this time is a really vulnerable time and a danger to the butterfly because it has no strength and effort to be easily preyed upon by predators.
After feeling himself ready and have the strength therefore he is ready to pack wings for the first time and start doing the odyssey of his life in the world with a beautiful look and charming.
Butterflies are commonly found in places with many flowers such as flower gardens, gardens or in the forest. Unlike the caterpillars that have a high appetite and greedy with eating as much leaves, butterflies do not eat leaves and just suck the essence of honey from flowers only.
But there is also a suck juice and carrion depends on the type of each. the absence of butterflies can also make an indicator that there are flowers or fruits that taste delicious and rich in vitamins.
