The Mind-Bending Science of Metamorphosis – How Insect Brains Transform to Fit Their New Bodies
Prof. Aécio D’Silva, Ph.D

How does a crawling caterpillar turn into a delicate butterfly? How does a clumsy tadpole become a leaping frog? The secret lies in metamorphosis, one of nature’s most astonishing transformations.
For insects like butterflies, moths, and beetles, this change isn’t just about growing wings—it’s a total body and brain reset. Inside the chrysalis, their brains literally melt and rewire, forming an entirely new nervous system for their adult lives.
But how does this happen? How can memories survive when the brain is dissolved? Why does evolution favor such an extreme transformation? Scientists are still unraveling the mysteries of how and why metamorphosis works. In this article, we’ll explore the science behind this mind-bending process and what it reveals about intelligent design, genetics, and even neuroscience.
