A caterpillar choosing a cage to metamorphose in, only to trap itself as a butterfly is the most metaphorical shit I've heard in my life. Every single humanities teacher is probably bricked up right now without knowing why.
Yeah thats what normal people do with beautiful creatures that help sustain the ecosystem. Have you been informed you're allowed to help things smaller than you rather than view everything as an invasive species?
I know, you're DV from me was seeming to miss that releasing a butterfly that "should" have dies would have just the same theoretical impact RE the butterfly effect as killing a butterfly that should have lived, not because I missed the reference. Though you got back an UV for this comment FWIW.

Looks like the ball was already cut open at the start of the video. I hope they didn't put it in there themselves.
