As the other caterpillars begin to metamorphosize, the very impatient caterpillar struggles. First, build a chrysalis. “Am I a butterfly yet?” “No, just be patient and let nature take its course.” “Am I a butterfly yet?” “Not yet” “How long will it take?” “TWO WEEKS.” “Two weeks? What am I going to do in here for TWO WEEKS?” Ever feel stuck at home, like time is passing very, very slowly? Perhaps you can understand the very impatient caterpillar and their impatient struggle to transform! Will they be successful? What happens after metamorphosis? Migration? Are you kidding???
