52:39oh that's horrifying
52:39Haven't they proven that the adult can remember stuff from its caterpillar stage?
52:41There was actually an experiment performed that proved that a butterfly remembers its life as a caterpillar!
52:43That's actually well understood! What's interesting is that they did an experiment and the butterfly keeps the same memories as the caterpillar!:nerd_face:
52:45yes, but it retains memories of caterpillarhood
