19 Amazing Before And After Pictures Of Butterfly Transformations
Butterfly transformation is one of the most magnificent processes we can observe in nature. Caterpillar to butterfly has also become a synonym for something that starts looking ugly turns into something beautiful. But are the caterpillars ugly?
They are an excellent example of nature’s ingenuity. They have no means of defense, so most of them try to pass as something else- a branch, bigger animal with teeth and similar. Their camouflage is excellent, and you have to put in an effort to distinguish a caterpillar.
So, somewhat unjustly, beautiful butterflies get all the attention, while the caterpillars are heroes behind the curtain. We have decided to make amends and show before and after pictures of famous butterflies. Take a look.
