Both butterflies and moths have four stages of life – they go from the initial egg to a caterpillar, then to a cocoon and finally to a butterfly or moth. We often think that whatever comes out of the cocoon is always more beautiful than the caterpillar that made it, but in some cases, this is not the case. In these 19 pictures, you’ll see the transformation, and decide for yourself if you prefer the caterpillar or the butterfly/moth…
Click on any of the images to see the transformation!

Romans 1:19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
Another vindication of my belief in our Creator.

Condors evolved from humming birds.
Well, that’s what government worker-teachers want kids who’re kicked to the curb into government indoctrination centers - aka public “schools”.
Pffffft.

Thanks, the wife and I enjoyed this caterpillar/butterfly show.
It was just this morning, as she was going through her garden spraying a pesticide to kill the caterpillars eating the Azalias, I reminded my wife she was also killing future butterflies.

I guess sometimes you can go thru life with only one phase being beautiful!
