    I imagine they feel like “man, I really need to turn to goo” in the same way we are like “man, I really gotta take a shit”

    there is so so much we don’t know / can’t observe / can’t let ourselves realize about nature. animals know and understand far far more than we think – just because they can’t speak doesn’t mean they don’t feel emotions as strongly as us

      I learned this on my first acid trip. Nature is more intelligent than your average person believes, and it sucks that we take it for granted. I wish more people would open their third eye and pay attention to their surroundings.

      EDIT: To add to the “there is so much we can’t observe” thing, I implore anyone reading this to google the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Our senses, specifically sight and sound, can only pick up a tiny sliver of what’s out there. You don’t even need psychedelic drugs to understand just how little we can observe as human beings if you understand how radio waves work.

    Has metamorphosis physiology been studied in detail with CT scans, electrodes? It sounds like one of those weird things that could really impact biology if understood in depth for things like regeneration and neuron plasticity…but maybe it’s too far to be useful to humans :/

    They don’t know they’re going to be butterflies. They are driven by instinct to build the cocoon. It is a natural urge, an irresistible drive.
