RE: Butterflies can retain memories from when they were caterpillars/Las mariposas pueden conservar recuerdos de cuando eran orugas
Metamorphosis utterly transforms an insect, which explains why the experiment leaving 'specific memories' intact is so astonishing. The fact that neural pathways with specific memories can survive such a wholesale reshuffling of cells is an insight into biology. Well done to 10-year-old Jo Nagai for her home demo of this concept.
