I was walking one day, and I almost stepped on a caterpillar. In that moment, I decided to capture a photo of this interesting creature instead. Later, I began to research the lifestyle of a caterpillar and the stages it goes through, leading up to becoming a butterfly. I found it amazing the things a caterpillar endures just to morph into a butterfly, such as the days spent crawling the earth, in danger of being crushed; being continuously, culturally degraded and frowned upon as a hideous creature; and then spending days of isolation in a cocoon with no means of defense against its surrounding habitat. After all those stages of growth, the caterpillar blossoms into a beautiful butterfly. It's quite ironic how we overlook the caterpillars but chase the butterflies. The difference in the view from the ground to the sky is amazing.
