Our first instinct on seeing an insect or a worm in the vegetable is to throw it away. But Presenter Sam Darlaston did the unusual when he saw worms in broccoli he bought from Tesco. It was actually caterpillars so he decided to adopt it. He took good care of the little ones and documented the process of the caterpillar growing into a butterfly on social media. The 27-year-old had apparently found six caterpillars in broccolis and another one in a different vegetable his roommate had got. However, he adopted the critters and took well care of it. As he began to document the process, he added 'caterpillar dad' to his Twitter bio. Also, they named the caterpillars as Cedric, Janine, Slim Eric, Croc Broc, Olly and Carlos. Uttarakhand Farmer Get His Name Added to Guinness Book of World Records for Growing World's Tallest Coriander Plant.

He took to Twitter about his finding on Twitter with the caption, "I was about to cook my favourite vegetable of all time (broccoli) and after unwrapping it, to my surprise, found caterpillars inside! They’re really nice and we’ve ended up keeping one as a pet and naming him. but just as a heads up, some of your broc has c-pillars."

Here's The Tweet:

Caterpillar Chaos!

Ohh!

The Process Begins!

One of the tweets read, "Also, a closer look at Cedric who is now 30 hours into his chrysalis stage - now fully renamed Metapod until he elvolves into butterfree."

After a little effort and five days, Sam and his roommate had three cocoons which eventually transformed into a butterfly. One of the photos shows a green coloured insect while another one is a yellow-coloured butterfly. The comments section is filled with praises to the young man who decided to nurture the butterfly and help them grow to the fullest. The tweets have gone viral massively and continue to get likes from around the world.
