Monarch Butterfly Life Cycle

Watch a Breathtaking Monarch Butterfly Swarm

Monarch butterflies are gothically beautiful.

​

When they get tired of larval life, you’d think something monstrous is about to burst out of the cocoon — grow absurdly huge, wreck everything in sight, and only be stopped and killed by the U.S. Army.

​

But no.

​

Instead, outcomes probably the lightest, gentlest creature nature ever bothered to make; so light and gentle that you never really noticed how antisocial and chaotic butterflies actually are: the moment they take off, you have no idea where they’re headed — if they’re headed anywhere at all.

​

Maybe they’ll just land two centimeters away, but unlike the anxiety of moths or the arrogance of cockroaches, butterflies just seem to say: 

​

- I don’t know what I’m doing, you don’t know what I’m doing, and that’s okay. 

​

No one slaps an anti-social behavior order on them, we just accept them as they are.  

​

But it’s no coincidence that one of the key theories of chaos is literally called the Butterfly Effect, a simple wing flap sets off a slow, unstoppable chain reaction somewhere else in the world — just like when the U.S. government decides to roll the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II out of the garage.

​

As anxious as a moth, as arrogant as a roach, as efficient as a bee, and as aggressive as a wasp — easily the most impressive war machine ever built by humanity’s endless craving for conflict.  

​

The A-10 is also antisocial and chaotic, but it doesn’t pretend otherwise, you may not know which way it’s going, but once it takes off it will get things done.  

​

Took the eerie "Monarch" by Zero T & Mosus, mixed in "A.S.B.O." by S.P.Y., added "Threads" by Portishead, and threw in a burst of A-10 fire for good measure and I called it BRRRTTERFLIES.  

​

Only the real ones will get it — and be thankful we haven’t been on the receiving end of these steel butterflies, because geopolitics works like that — the bill always comes due, and I’ll never get another chance for a wordplay this good.
