Do butterflies remember life as a caterpillar?

FAQ of the week
Once upon a time, there lived a cute, furry caterpillar called Chloe. She lived in the trees, loved to munch leaves and was content unless someone mentioned body waxing.

One day, as she happily inched her way around her favourite stalking point, her pretty antennae started twitching in disgust. "Eeurggh!!" She exclaimed, "what is that smell?!!" Oh no, she thought, I recognise that cruddy caterpillar cologne! It was her Ex trying to impress and nibble some young daisy.

This so upset her that she gathered up her many dainty legs and crept away to a place where nobody could find or disturb her. Deciding she wanted to shut herself off from the world, she cocooned herself in silk with a nice mug of hot chocolate.

Day dreaming away, lost in thought, time passed swiftly. Suddenly, she realised she was late for an important appointment. Fluttering in haste from her crystallised cot she set off. As she flapped towards her rendezvous, her senses picked up various scents, the wind and nectar. Ah yes the party was in progress!

Just as she was about to drop in, an awful whiff reached her! Not again! She distinctly remembered that faqing fragrance from before! Her Ex! With a twitch of her antennae, she chaotically fluttered off. She flew up, up and away to less whiffy lands and lived happily ever after.

The End.

So kids, the moral of this hairy tale is don't buy cheap caterpillar cologne, beautiful butterflies will remember!

Butterflies taste food by standing on it :)

I thought the article was interesting. Of all the winged creatures of our world the butterfly has always been the most beautiful with regard to transformation.

So, do frogs remember life as a tadpole?
