Where are you? Come on. Here, caterpillars. Where are you hiding?

Come on. Are you there?

Oh! Hello, everyone. I'm looking for some caterpillar friends.

I can't find them anywhere.

They used to be in this bush where the butterflies are

but they don't seem to be there any more.

I wonder what happened to them?

When you need to know, go to Okido!

-Messy's here.

-Messy!

-Messy!

-Hello. Where are you all off to?

-Zim is taking us on a nature walk.

-Balabalaboomboom!

A nature walk! What's a nature walk?

It's when we go for a walk and spot as many different

types of flowers and plants and animals and insects as we can.

Yippee! Let's oki-go!

Now, that's... I know that... Come and see this.

There's a worm, see, it's poking its head...

Oh, no, I've frightened it. Oh, dear.

Hey! Why are we stopping?

-Look!

-What's that?

-It's a caterpillar.

A really big caterpillar!

Woo-hoo! A caterpillar! Just like my friends back home,

only a lot bigger. It's so nice to meet you.

Especially after I couldn't find my other caterpillar friends.

CATERPILLAR CHIRPS

-Oh!

-What's wrong?

Did that happen to you too? Have you lost your friends?

CHIRPS

Don't worry. We'll help you to look for your friends.

Where did you last see them?

CHIRPS

They could be anywhere.

-What should we do?

-I know. Let's call Zam.

-We could search from the Cloud Ship.

-Yes. That'll be much easier.

-Hello?

-Zam, it's us.

We've met a caterpillar who's lost her friends.

-Can you help us to find them?

-Of course. Stay where you are.

-I'm on my way.

-See you soon!

We'll soon find your friends when Zam gets here.

CATERPILLAR'S TUMMY RUMBLES

OTHERS LAUGH

-It sounds like you're hungry.

-What do caterpillars eat?

Caterpillars eat leaves. Come on, we'll go and get some.

-Now I'm hungry too.

-Me too.

-I brought a packed lunch.

It's in here somewhere.

-Oh!

-A sock! Thanks, Felix.

Here we are. Where's the caterpillar gone?

-She was just over there.

-Oh, no, she's gone!

Let's look for her!

ELECTRONIC BEEPING

ELECTRONIC BEEPING

Hmm. She really was very hungry.

I have a theory.

That caterpillar was very hungry.

I think we should be looking for a very big cocoon.

Oki-do. A cocoon.

-Er, what is a cocoon?

-Zoom, your assistance, please.

A cocoon is something a caterpillar lives in for a while.

The caterpillar makes its own cocoon,

but it needs to eat lots of food first.

A cocoon looks like a bit like a zipped-up sleeping bag.

OK, then. I'll find it.

Is it over there?

No. There?

No. Is it over there?

No. Over there?

No. Is it over there?

No. Is it over there?

No.

Messy, you're standing on the cocoon.

-I've found it!

-Well done, Messy.

-The caterpillar is asleep inside the cocoon.

-Should we wake her up?

Oh, no, Messy. She'll wake up when she's ready.

-Then you'll see what a grown-up caterpillar looks like.

-Oh, wow!

I bet she's going to be really, really, really, really big!

I can't wait for her to come out.

It looks like you won't have to wait long.

I think she's about to come out of the cocoon.

Oh, no! We can't let the cocoon roll down the hill.

Come on.

We have to stop it.

I know.

Whoa!

Watch out, Messy!

Oh, no! Argh!

Oh, dear! Argh! Wahey!

Watch out! Whoa!

Ha!

-Phew!

-Well done, Messy.

That was easy for a messy monster, like me!

Look. There's a hole in the cocoon. Are you OK, caterpillar?

It's empty. She must have come out!

She must have left the cocoon when you were in the bush.

Let's look there.

Hmm. I don't see a really, really big caterpillar here.

Where is she?

I can't see her anywhere.

CHIRPS

-Whoa!

-Hello there, butterfly. Excuse me,

but have you seen a grown-up caterpillar anywhere?

Great. Can you show us where she is, please?

-You?

-So you're the caterpillar we met earlier?

And you came out of the cocoon looking like that?

Wow! That's confusing.

A-ha! I see the caterpillar's metamorphosis is complete.

Yes! Er, what is that?

It's what happens to some animals.

Lots of young animals just look bigger when they grow up.

Some animals, though, like caterpillars,

look very different when they grow up.

So, caterpillars go into a cocoon?

Then they go through meta... What's it called again?

Metamorphosis.

Metamorphosis. And come out of the cocoon as a butterfly!

-Do other animals go through metamorphosis?

-Yes.

Zoom, can you show us another example of metamorphosis?

Do you know what this is?

I know. It's a tadpole.

That's right, Zoe.

The tadpole is a young version

of an animal that goes through metamorphosis.

-Oh, wow! Tadpoles turn into frogs.

-They do.

Hello. Are you there? I can't see you.

-We're under the trees.

-I can't land in the trees.

Don't worry. I'll look for somewhere close by.

What is it, butterfly?

I thinks she wants us to get onto her back.

-Balabalabalaboomboom! Come on, everyone.

-Oh, dear.

Woo-hoo!

Wheeee!

Wahey!

Whoa!

Oh!

There's the Cloud Ship.

Oh! I wasn't expecting that. Come on in.

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Wheee!

Wahey!

Ooh! Where am I?

Welcome aboard. My, what an entrance.

-That was amazing! Thanks, butterfly.

-Thanks, butterfly.

Oh, no. The sun is setting.

We still have to find the butterfly's friends.

-How will we do that when it's dark?

-First, let's get some light in here.

BUTTERFLY CHIRPS

What's the butterfly doing?

Maybe your friend isn't a butterfly

after all. Maybe she's a moth.

-A moth?

-Butterflies and moths are very alike.

Both are caterpillars when they're younger and both make cocoons.

And both come out of their cocoons with wings.

But moths tend to be attracted to light.

Hmm. So, if we turn on the lights on the outside of the Cloud Ship...

..then the moths will be drawn to the light.

A-ha. It looks like we've found her friends.

-See you, moths. Bye-bye.

-Take care now.

-See you.

I'm glad we got her back to her friends.

Now I'm going to see if I can find my caterpillar friends.

-Goodbye, everyone.

-OTHERS: See you, Messy!

So, you were my caterpillar friends but you're my butterfly friends now.

Let's play butterflies.

See you soon. Bye-bye.

Balabalaboomboom!
