Welcome to Fast Facts with Reasons for Hope!
I’m Carl Kerby, and we’re talking about butterflies.
This time we’re sharing a “shotgun” approach and summarizing as many miracles as we can in this super-short segment!
A butterfly starts off as a caterpillar and eats 7 times its weight every day for 12 days! That’s 3,000 times its birth weight in under 2 weeks. Now that’s a big baby!
The caterpillar then forms a casing called a chrysalis, where it digests itself and dissolves into a ghastly goo before becoming a completely different organism. This is called metamorphosis … or better yet … a miracle!
When he gets out of the chrysalis, he still has to put some things together … like connecting his straw-like tongue and filling up his wings for flight.
And then he flies to the same winter home without ever having been there before.
One more thing … this only has to happen for 20,000 different species!
Fact is … Someone HAS to be conducting all of this! Can you guess Who?
Wow, that’s a mouthful!
Until next time … stay bold!
