Here’s something to ponder.

Caterpillars are wormlike fuzzy creatures that climb around plants and eat their leaves. They wrap themselves up in a cocoon and, in a wink of an eye, totally EVOLVE (metamorphosis) into an entirely different (in just about every way one can think of) creature. How is it possible that a creature can totally ‘transform’ it’s body????

All exoskeletal creatures molt to grow. The transition comes as they reach sexual maturity - you must admit that you don’t look the same now as you did when you were a toddler.

Ummmm....ever actually studied lepidopterans past the "caterpillar + cocoon = butterfly/moth" kindergarten level stuff? I had the priveledge of dissecting Manduca sexta cocoons at different metamorphosis levels....fascinating to actually learn stuff.

....and I wouldn't make the blanket claim that caterpillars are fuzzy...some are...some are not.
