Loved this! I've been reading a lot about butterfly migrations recently, too - specifically the Painted Lady, which completes a 9,000 mile migration each year that takes six generations of butterflies to complete. So not only do they turn into goo, but then they have this pre-planned path ahead of them too! Carla the Caterpillar sure has an interesting life! But in all serious, wonderful piece. Thank you!
What a lovely read Louise. Love Carla the caterpillar.
Thank you so much for reading, Colin! I've grown quite fond of Carla the caterpillar, too. :)
Haha… I have a friend called Carla. I am not sure I should call her a caterpillar though..
You are on fire lately.
I genuinely enjoyed this.
The name of the artlce was great ad really caught my attention.
And the way you wove in Carla as a protagonist and crafted an narrative around her. Genius.
Thank you.
You are making me want to level up my writing in very particular ways.
Wow, thank you so much, Ramon! Reading this made me very happy!
Goodness, this was such a great read. Inspiring, hopeful and a really positive way to look at "flaps hands.... everything"
Thank you so much, Louise! I'm so glad you liked it. That means a lot. :)
