Butterflies | Can’t Sleep? Learn About Metamorphosis

Butterflies pull off one of the most remarkable transformations in the animal kingdom. This episode explores their life cycle from egg and caterpillar to chrysalis and adult, including how metamorphosis actually works, where those elaborate wing colors come from, what butterflies eat, and how some species manage enormous migrations. Along the way, you’ll learn about camouflage, courtship, predators, and the strange biology behind insects that completely rebuild themselves just to spend the rest of their lives looking considerably more fashionable.

It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
