Whenever I hear David Attenborough’s voice I can’t resist cracking a smile I love hearing his voice in documentaries like the Blue Planet which I have the dvds to this day since I was a young child. I’m amazed he’s still Alive god bless him. And with the music in the background and his calming narration it makes a perfect ambience for relaxation while being educated about nature 😊 And I will forever thank him for my love of nature and animals

Dont forget about metapod

metamorphosis is not the same thing as evolution. This isn't pokemon

Frank Nunez I mean, he didn't bring anything up like that...

Some females still live after laying eggs. And most males die after using up all their sperm

A lot of butterflies don’t even create a cocoon, usually that’s a moth thing

Johnny Omaha They did call it a chrysalis, the problem is that whoever uploaded this had some grammar error

Johnny Omaha yes, it is particularly galling not only due to the caliber of the organization, but due to the fact the video itself uses the correct terminology. it gives the impression that the caption-writer didn't bother to watch the video

A cocoon is for moths

But don't moths make a Chrysalis inside of the cocoon..... They still shed their skin inside after making it.....

Omg 3 years later and the Social media person for Smithsonian Channel still hasn't fixed the description.

it is david it says in the description

🤦‍♂️

Brooke Randall, if they are gulf fritillaries, variegated fritillaries, or Mexican fritillaries they will. That’s their host plant.

Yes. Just plant enough for you and them. If you find any on the ones you planted for yourself, move them to the others.

Yep Cocoon - moth

Its natural kid.

thanks

Never mind, only second.

I must certainly agree with that!
