    I would also lean closer towards ‘same animal’ but its physical morphology undergoes such drastic changes its definitely blurred lines

    Psychologically I think there are tests that show butterflies and moths retain memories from pre-metamorphisis stages

    Metaphysical questions are so cool just because we may never be able to answer them!!!

      As mentioned in one of the comments, since caterpillar is just a stage of life, I guess it isn’t as much of a contradiction/paradox then.

      But yes, stuff like this is loads of fun! :D
