The metamorphosis…<\/h2>\n\n

is a magnificent transformation and an impressive miracle. For even the seemingly motionless dolls are in the midst of a silent tour de force, an invisible construction site of life. <\/p>\n\n

\"Macro
Doll<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Incredible changes take place on the way from egg to adult insect. Several weeks pass before the mealworm turns into a nymph or pupa, from which the mealworm then hatches. The last major changes take place inside the almost immobile nymph or pupa. Nothing seems to happen. But soon a beetle hatches from the pupa, which outwardly has nothing to do with the mealworm it once was. <\/p>\n\n

Only patience<\/h3>\n\n

What goes on inside the dolls takes time. Strength lies in calm. But sometimes even a flour beetle nymph seems to be plagued by impatience. <\/p>\n\n

Oh, how they lie there constricted in their doll’s shell. Their little legs as if tied up. Looking at them, I could sense their impatience. That’s why I hummed them a lullaby. It worked! You don’t believe me? Then watch my proof video on YouTube. Don’t forget to turn on the sound! <\/p>\n\n

Have fun with the youtube video Lullaby for the dolls<\/h3>\n\n

A movie between science, tenderness and a pinch of absurdity.<\/p>\n\n
