Born as eggs, they are separated at birth from their parents, hatch as caterpillars and fend for themselves. When it is time to move to the next stage in life, they build their own home in the form of a cocoon & wait till time journeys through their transformation to adolescence. They might never get to meet their parents, however, it is in Nature while as a child that they find their food and shelter. Nature is their Mother for care and protection. One just needs to perceive the bond.
