What’s Inside A Caterpillar 'Cocoon?'

Ғылым және технология

Contrary to popular belief, a chrysalis is not a pouch or a sac -It’s actually the caterpillar’s own body! During metamorphosis, the former caterpillar releases digestive juices that dissolve cells in its muscles, gut, and other organs. Then, special groups of cells called imaginal discs divide over and over again, forming wings and other adult structures.

    I had rescued a Caterpillar one day in High School, the school was given new trees to decorate the front entrance. Well in those trees where hundreds of Caterpillars that started to crawl down the tree to turn into Chrysalis. I saw a few being squished by some students so I grabbed one and took it home. I took a small twig with leaves to feed it in case and placed it into a small glass fishbowl and watched them. I later added a long stick for it to climb on. I left for the day and came home to see him upside down. I was excited and witnessed the Chrysalis being shed. While it was a Chrysalis I talked to them and played music mainly a kazoo song. A few weeks pass and I come home to see my Chrysalis bud had emerged and was still hanging upside down. I quickly and carefully moved the container outside to release them. After and hour I saw them testing their wings still upside down. I placed my finger next to them and they climbed on. Soon they perched on top of my finger and after a few test flaps they took off. Nothing like seeing a butterfly experience flight for the first time. I thought they'd leave me and live it's life free but 2 days later I come home and in the backyard I see my Butterfly flying around and after putting my bag down and walking to them, they landed on my shirt saying hello to me. I'd hum the song from the video and they'd land on me almost everyday. After 10 months I knew they'd died but I still see his species around and ever since a few seem to know me and either land on me or fly next to me as I walk. The species for those who want to know is the Mourning Cloak Butterfly which have a lifespan of 11 to 12 months the longest lifespan of a butterfly. Edit: Thank you everyone for all the kind words you've all said. I'd thought this comment would be swept away in the wave of comments but here I see it with over 500 likes! Anyway I acted out in a show of a maternal instinct for the little guy struggling to run from creatures many times larger than them. I guess that my act resonated and impacted the life of a lovely insect who was a major part of my life after school. Once I was trying to sun bath as my skin is rather fair. While I was laying there on a lawnchair my butterfly friend landed and rested on my leg enjoying the moment.

    @@jeanpierre7566 No, they're the same organism. Both the adults and larvae have the same DNA. The DNA is just expressed differently when they become adults. This is the same for all insects that go through incomplete metamorphosis as well (dragonflies, mantises, roaches etc), even though their transformation isn't as extreme as the insects that go through holometabolism (complete metamorphosis) like beetles, butterflies, flies, bees etc. Complete metamorphosis was slowly evolved from incomplete metamorphosis so that the larvae and adults would be adapted to different lifestyles and wouldn't compete with each other for resources. This puts them at an advantage because the larvae can totally focus on eating and the adults can totally focus on breeding. Only some parts of the pupa (chrysalis) are dissolved. Caterpillars still have a nervous system, true legs and even internal wings that will used in the adult stage after some serious modifications, but the caterpillar never becomes a bag of soup unless it's been infected by a disease or parasite.

Then 9 all went at the same time and then you had this huge giant one that was just still hungry. He literally ate his little heart out. He said. This milkweed is alllll mine. He finally went up and did his thing like a day later. I’m so excited to let 11 little monarch butterflies into the world.

    I'd be interested to know if their 'memories' of caterpillar-life are more like established schemas, or more like true memory-based training associations. A dog will cycle through a variety of learned training behaviours with the specific intent to please its owner and get cuddles and treats. This is different from Pavlov's dogs salivating when they hear a bell being rung, or a person having a lingering phobia of clowns because of someone peering into their cot while wearing a clown mask, when they were nine months old, even though all three are associations of a sort. If a goldfish can learn to drive a vehicle to accomplish a specific objective in the name of getting a treat (this has been done!), surely a caterpillar/butterfly can be studied using a similar principle to find out the answer to this! I mean, a caterpillar and a butterfly can both crawl. I'd imagine such a conserved memory function might be useful for distinguishing and avoiding certain high-risk predator or poison situations.

    Once after bathing, I dried my entire body using a towel. Initially, I felt mild itching and burning sensation. Then, as I spread the towel over a rope, I saw a wet caterpillar without any hair. Moments later, I was in excruciating pain , my body swelled and developed rashes. Today, when I think about it , I see the funny side of it.

    @@marxgalacticambition7023 I have moringa trees (drumstick trees) in my backyard. In one particular season , a cluster of caterpillars gather (i don't know where they come from) and hang onto the shady side of its trunk. A branch of the tree extended to the balcony where I sun dry my wet clothes. One adventurous caterpillar might have sought out to explore the world and reached my towel. My neighbours usually kill the caterpillars whilst they are on tree in clusters by spraying shampoo-water solution on them but for some reason instead of killing them I wait for them to hatch into butterflies. When a large number of butterflies fly in the garden , it does look beautiful. I think it's worth saving caterpillars.

    I would guess it is the other way around. There are many insects who are born as miniature adults, then there are insects who a born in a different version but still similar to adults (for example with no wings or no functional wings and develop them over multiple molts). And we even have insects like dragonflies who have an aquatic nymph stage and molts into a flying insect. Insects with complete metamorphosis like the fly, ants, and butterflies probably a specialized version of insects with a less drastic change like the dragonfly. They take advantage of having two different lifestyles so the adults don't compete with the young for resources and have the caterpillar as a specialized "eating machine" and the butterfly a specialized "breeding machine"
