Metamorphosis and Life Cycles

The video explores the concept of metamorphosis, starting with a question about whether butterflies are the only animals that begin life as caterpillars. Jeremiah shares a personal story about witnessing butterfly metamorphosis in Japan. The video then discusses how many animals, including ladybugs, beetles, frogs, and salamanders, undergo metamorphosis, changing drastically from their larval to adult forms. The video concludes with an invitation to participate in an activity observing caterpillars and a preview of questions for the next episode.
