Once a caterpillar has disintegrated all of its tissues except for the imaginal discs, those discs use the protein-rich soup all around them to fuel the rapid cell division required to form the wings, antennae, legs, eyes, genitals and all the other features of an adult butterfly or moth. The imaginal disc for a fruit fly's wing, for example, might begin with only 50 cells and increase to more than 50,000 cells by the end of metamorphosis. Depending on the species, certain caterpillar muscles and sections of the nervous system are largely preserved in the adult butterfly. One study even suggests that moths remember what they learned in later stages of their lives as caterpillars. The Very Hungry Caterpillar Spinner: Book And Card Game. Univ Games. January 30, 2007.

[35] Main reasons for integration include the universal themes of picture books and providing visual aids for comprehension. [35] The Very Hungry Caterpillar has themes that extend past young children and its integration with Beowulf helps engage secondary aged students.
