Do butterflies remember being caterpillars?

Well, some do and some probably do not. It is just like asking somebody if they remember being born or being a baby. You really can't remember. But, a lot of people can remember childhood and being a toddler.\n\nThey probably do remember muching leaves and turning into a butterfly, but no one really knows for sure, right?\n\nI'm sure they wouldn't think caterpillars are a different species because they used to be caterpillars. That's like someone saying,"I think babies are a different species then humans." You know that you used to be a baby. Even if you only remember bits and pieces.\n\nI hope this has helped you!

I would think that things gradually evolved over time.  There must have been enough "almost" butterflies to pro-create with the butterfly to have offspring.  So I feel it would be like being in the current of the stream and the stream would have kept pushing forward maybe a little different but in the same general direction.  Just a guess..  Good question.

None of the above.  Just as you move your arms, so the butterfly moves its wings.

Only the ones that emerge from chrysalis. While being in a chrysalis they don't eat, they live of the reserves acquired during the caterpillar-phase (that's why they are so voracious). The classic example of this are the butterflies.

They are programmed to spiral around the moon. \nThis keeps the insects evenly dispersed across the land and  helps to prevent inter-beading. But lights are brighter than the moon and fool them.\nIf you watch them move towards the light, you should notice that they spiral towards it.

Most moths hang out on trees, far as I now. Note that there patterning looks like bark.

I would have to say no. I however recommend checking it up on Encarta, and Infoplease. If I recall those animals came later, yet my memory is not great with times.

A healthy Caterpillar can turn either into a moth or a butterfly depending on its species. Butterflies are members of just a few of the families of the insect order Lepidoptera. The members of the other families are all called moths.  There are estimated to be about 10,000 species of moths. The adults of the butterfly families have some features in common: \nthey fly in the daytime (most moths fly at night), \nthey have a naked pupa (most moths have cocoons), \nthe adults have filamentary antenna with a knob on the end\n(most moths, especially the males, have feathery antennae), and they fold their wings up vertically above the body when at rest (most moths fold them over like a tent shape).

Butterflies, like most insects, have two large compound eyes made up of hundreds of smaller lenses that combine images to form a larger picture of the insect's environment.  The resolving power of these individual eyes is not great, probably detecting levels of light and dark and colour perception, but the combination adds up much like the individual pixels of the image on your computer screen or TV set.\n\nLike most flying insects, butterflies also have three ocelli that are found on their heads between their eyes, basically forming a triangle on their 'forehead'.  These ocelli are sensitive to polarized light and assist the flying insect in navigation and balance, detecting the horizon and sky and direction of sunlight.

egg > larva(catapillar) > pupa(in the cocoon) > butterfly

caterpillars don't reproduce.\n\ncaterpillars is part of a stage of becoming a butterfly. Really, they are kids, and when they become a cocoon, they are teenagers. When they emerge out of their cocoon, they are like adults.\n\nIn other words, caterpillars are not ready to reproduce, or they aren't so developed yet.\n\nYet the only way the caterpillar population increases is if more butterflies make more eggs that will soon become caterpillars.

Umm...I've been making jokes about larval humans for years, so I had to laugh. Bugs have larval stages, but vertebrates don't. The larval stage is the maggot stage. In humans, some people refer to that as "middle school"...but that's only when we look back as adults. Kids these days have evolved and aren't nearly so maggoty as we once were ;)

I remember being 2, and in a pre-school in New York. I remember quite a bit, such as the teacher, and some of the children. \n\nI don't really remember prior to that, but im sure I could if I were to really try...\n\nI always believed that we have the ability to remember from the womb.\n\n< peace >

There is a caterpillar, newly discovered species, in Hawaii that belongs to the hyposmocoma group. It eats snails not leaves unlike most caterpillars.
