    Something fascinating about the metamorphosis: in the chrysalis, the caterpillar completely turns into liquid goo. However, it seems the butterfly keeps memories from its caterpillar life.

      I took this as “they want to look like her” rather than “they want to be butterflies to hook up with her”.

          Yes, it is.

          That’s also not really relevant to my comment.

              I am genuinely confused now.

              I took the comic to mean “these male caterpillars see a female-presenting butterfly and wanted to be butterflies so they could look like a curvy butterfly-babe”

              Rather than “these male caterpillars want to be male butterflies to butter-bang”

              I am unsure why someone down voted, I am just confused how my comment is “innocence”
