What is a caterpillar called before being a butterfly?

Before I get the answer that I'm foreseeing, I mean it more like this:





A butterfly is an insect because it has six legs. A caterpillar has more than six legs, so it is not an insect. It morphs into being an insect. What is a caterpillar classified as when it has more than six legs?|||Quite interesting analysis. When the egg hatches out pops a caterpillar. It has six legs and may have a bunch of pseudo legs to help it keep attached to eats leaves etc. As it grows its outer skin doesn't stretch enough to contain the caterpillar so it splits and the caterpillar crawls out of it. This change from on skin size to the next is called an "Instar." When the butterfly completes its last instar, It attaches itself to a suitable foundation and hangs usually upside down and the skin splits for the last time are reveals a chrysalis with the morphing butterfly inside. In its time, the chrysalis splits open and the butterfly emerges. It takes several hours for the wings to expand and dry before the butterfly can fly.|||Caterpillars have 6 legs and then pro legs (they are fake suction cup feet) on the abdomen. The caterpillar goes like this caterpillar -%26gt; pupa -%26gt; adult. So if its a moth the pupa will be a "cocoon" if the caterpillar is a butterfly the pupa is a "crystalist"|||The catterpillar makes a coccoon around itself; the butterfly emerges from the coccoon and (after sitting for a while to let its wings unfurl and dry out) flies away.

This article explains the transformation that butterflies go through - http://www.butterfly-gardens.com/butterf鈥?/a>|||BUTTERPILLAR|||Ah, but the caterpillar does have only


six legs if you look closely.|||i searched on google it took me to a ''backyard'' page thing and it just said it was an insect

To help the monarch butterfly numbers increase is there a group that plants milkweed?

In the Pismo Beach area the winter butterfly population is getting smaller every year.





Since they lay their larva in milkweed, it is important that the plant be plentiful wherever butterflies are in the spring and summer.





And herbicide spray may be killing off the milkweed.|||It grows in ditches, along roads, and in pastures.

How do you take care of a butterfly?

Monarch Butterfly needs help. My friend took perfect care of him in his cacoon but at one point his jar got knocked over and one of his wings is hurt and he cant use it. So she has to take care of it for its entire life. HELP|||Make sure it has any of the following plants:





Mallow, dill, swamp milkweed, asters, broccoli, alfalfa, scarlet runner bean, nasturtium, violets, parsley, chives, lavender, oregano or rosemary.





It's wing may heal if it is left to heal naturally without human interference.





I would like to recommend this book:

What's that myth about a butterfly flapping its' wing and a tsunami happening?

I know there's a myth or theory about it, like a butterfly flapping its' wing in New York and a tsunami happening in Florida? Something like that.|||It's not exactly related to time travel. Th point is, small things in a seemly ordinary place or time can lead to exponential events. It's an exercise proposed into the chaos theory that the small turbulence from a butterfly flight can lead to a chain event so massive that it could produce a hurricane some time after. This is used in meteorology to find non linear patterns for better weather predictions, for being a non linear system, the weather is a chaotic System. Also, keep in mind that it's really unlikely that a butterfly flap actually leads to a hurricane, it's just and example, and NEVER to a tsunami, tsunamis and hurricanes are completely different things. Tsunamis originate with earthquakes on the sea floor, and there's simply nothing that living beings can make on the surface of the planet that is big enough to cause this kind of earthquake.|||It's to do with chaos theory.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theor鈥?/a>





Scientists love to come out with memorable notions which then often get tragically misunderstood. The idea is that weather being an immensely complex and unpredictable system is highly sensitive to tiny influences.





So maybe a butterfly flaps its wings and later on the tiny air currents get bigger and bigger and end up causing a hurricane while if the butterfly hadn't flapped its wings then maybe a hurricane wouldn't have formed - or at least would have formed in a different place.





If you want a source on chaos theory suitable for a layman I'd recommend 'Chaos' by James Gleick.|||I believe it's a theory (not a myth) about changes in time. A small cause far enough in the past can cause enormous consequences in the future. A butterfly flaps its wings, and the weather gets affected by the wind to an extent that a storm hits on the other side of the world.|||it's called the Butterfly Effect.


I was able to locate some information on Wiki


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_e鈥?/a>|||Assuming you can time travel to the past, an insignificant change in events (butterfly wing flap) could lead enormous changes (tsunami) in the future.|||Its just a philosophical metaphor referring to everything happening for a reason.|||whatever...........


no one can change the past and predict the future anyways.

How to buy a butterfly knife without a credit/debit card?

I wish to buy a butterfly knife but paypal does not allow the purchase of knives through the paypal system. I do have a bank account but I am unable to use my card. I have my bank and routing number and I was curious if there is a place to buy butterfly knives using that information.|||Why are you unable to use your card? There's no websites nor physical stores that will sell you a knife just by providing your bank and routing numbers. Actually, there are websites that would love to get that information from you - but you will never receive a product and they will drain your account dry faster than you can say 'Shazam'.|||You can purchase prepaid credit cards at most stores.

Where can I find earrings with an embellishment on the butterfly fastening behind the ear?

I saw a lady on TV wear these beautiful silver butterfly stud earrings that had a chandelier-style drop from behind her pierced ears. They almost resembled threads, but they can't be so since the embellishment didn't actually thread through to the front of her ears. I can only guess that they were attached to the butterfly that fastens the earrings from behind the ear.





Apologies if I'm not making any sense. It's just that those were the most beautiful earrings I have ever seen!
