parallel_caterpillar_analogy
Pythagorus There seems to be a certain parallel between humans and caterpillars.
(From a spiritual perspective.)

I was thinking about the theory of evolution, and trying to figure out how the caterpillar species would benefit by adapting the need to be without defenses in a cocoon for the second part of their life.

It seems their existence is more of a symbolic one. Living on earth only to consume everything in sight. Then undergoing a metamorphic sleep, changing into a beautiful winged being of color and light.

daxle I think the benefit of the cocoon phase is only to have time and space for all those biological changes going on. The suseptability to predation is a negative on that one, but apparently since it has evolved to occur it is more beneficial than harmful to the survival of the species. 020611
