We have been involved in several threads dealing with Animal consciousness and awareness relative to human consciousness and awareness.
I just read something quite interesting on pocket https://getpocket.com/explore/item/how-does-a-caterpillar-turn-into-a-butterfly?utm_source=pocket-newtab about how a butterfly develops out of a caterpillar
Aside from introducing the term "imaginal discs" which are present in the larvae for adult parts like wings and legs and eyes - which seems miraculous (as the caterpillar could conceivable feel it's baby wings inside and may even yearn to fly - who knows if they can yearn)- well they can remember experiences from larval and pupal experience when they are adult - as proven by this experiment
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001736
I find it wonderfully alien and amazing,

I am very happy that the crabs came out and I did not get any,
I will take the story of my yet to emerge wings to the teeth meridian thread which might work out in the future.

I could guess but it would not be fair. Why not ask directly if it is an area of interest to you? I am not your agent, be brave.

It is the same organism in the video I posted - slime mold!

Ahh...right, thanks for the clarification! 
I could make a thread about about my own very tiny brain!

Slime mold really pushes the question of what intelligence is - how does this organism communicate and how does it perceive? It seems like a very primitive neural network but made of individual cells that are their own entity.

i wonder if human could be larvae, containing within our brains a tiny brain,
that is the thought-controller of our future end-metamorphosis state.

Dna contains the code within it to make more of anything. Sometimes it accidentally happens and someone ends up with multiples of X organ.

The so-called cellular slime mold, a unicellular organism that may transition into a multicellular organism under stress, has been found to have a tissue structure that was previously thought to exist only in more sophisticated animals.
it is normally just a mass of protoplasm with many nuclei.
