Why wouldnt this work
Laboraty log e-2, hopefully the mega deadly killer butterfly doesn't escape its containment cell after we've given it both an aerosolized rabies virus strain and increased tumorous cell growth hormones, that would fucking suuuuuck
>>5168666caterpillar doesn't actually become a complete pile of goop, some organs remain intact

>>5168669That's not true at all. Google it. Entirely goo. It's pretty wild.
>>5168666It does and has
It's totally impossible nobody has ever done that and nobody has ever tried it
Anyone who thinks this works is a transsexual brown muslim liberal. Do not try this or you are a gay
>>5168696I agree! Only FAGGOTS AND TRANNIES do this, and we all hate those people

>caterpillar is liquidwhat?
>you will never take a sip from the caterpilk
>>5168666Does the brain become goop too?Is metamorphosis an actual death of the self, and another ego get birthed from what is effectively your corpse?
>>5168694false
>>5168694No it's not. If you cut open a caterpillar near the end of its growth you can literally find the already developing wings inside of it.
>>5168872There's research showing that moths retain at least some memories of their lives as caterpillars.
>>5168886They certainly don't remember how windows or lamps work

>>5168893What the fuck...........
https://www.neperos.com/article/qt3o6y46c924d4c2an interesting article about a whacky metamorphosis experiment
>>5168666lets assume the absolute best case scenario that it did work, what would come out would be a nonfunctional organism. The wings would not be able to carry its weight.Ofc it would never get that far.
>>5169065Uh.I always assumed the goop was sorta re-homogenized inside and just used as nutrients for the new thing, kinda like an albumen.Looks like the segments are still "there" even if melted, if they turn into their proper adult counterpart instead of the entire thing re-doing the full differentiation and resulting in a tiny but full adult.Gruesome but good experiments.Now I wonder if there are any archaic metamorphosis pathways in vertebrate/mammals, or if the entire machinery for it was developed after we branched off.
>>5169075Well, according to google, the short answer is no.The long answer is "yes, but only with lame-ass and useless results no matter what you try".
>>5168893Not gonna lie the goo looks like candy here.
>>5168668There used to be a Disney ride with this exact premise but it got shut down for being too scary.
>>5169065neat and educational, thanks
>>5169075There was a study some years back that showed that some butterflies retained "memories" from when they were caterpillars.
>>5168893>It's still moving as it gets devoured
caterpillars and butterlies being the same animal is one of those obvious things that I consciously know but it's always so goddamn weird to think about
No.

>>5168893I can't believe I'm an adult and I did not know it looks like this inside. I thought it gradually grows and loses parts like how mutation is depicted in popular media.
