The Chrysalis, Like a Jade Pendant Remarkable cellular reorganization completes during the chrysalis stage , changing a worm into a butterfly . It is instructive to note that metamorphosis puts the monarch larva in a very vulnerable position . At almost any point where the methodical progression is disrupted , there is scant room for recovery . It can happen when conditions permit , but they often do not . The process begun will proceed , or death will come by its failure .
Life is tenaceous , however , and urgency is instinctive .
This is strong argument for design , and the creation model . The contour of the pupa defines structures of the emerging butterfly . Everything is folded together with the care and precision of a parachute on which the jumper's life depends . In a real way the life , the very existence of the monarch as a species , depends on this efficient packaging . Every step of the metamorphosis journey is by exacting design faithfully transmitted through the millennia , replicated by DNA encoding incorporated in the first monarch butterfly by the Creator , in the beginning .
