True, both moths and butterflies are called "caterpillars" when in their larval stage. However, moths are not a type of butterfly, although they are closely related. Since the quiz asks for the "baby" (aka pre-adult) name of butterflies, "caterpillar" is fine. If it was the other way around, and it gave us "caterpillar" and asked what it would end up being, then either butterfly OR moth would work. Unless it specified a caterpillar in a cocoon or in a chrysalis, in which case....well, never mind.

Tadpoles and Caterpillars are not young frogs and butterflies, they are the larval stage of those animals. I thought that boar was wrong, too, but I looked it up and was mistaken. Apparently "wild boar" and "boar" have just become synonymous in common usage. Learn something new every day. :)

Seems like a significant difference to me. There's no metamorphosis taking place between goslings and geese. They are always geese. If someone pointed at a caterpillar and said "is that a butterfly?" the answer would be no.

I tried bear first and didnt get why it wasnt accepted. Cause it is beer in my language which is the exact same word as used for bear.

As for the other part of your comment I felt the same way. I let it go, but really a caterpillar is not a young butterfly, the first day the butterfly is a butterfly it is a young butterfly. It is the same animal though. But a diferent form/stadium of it. If a young caterpillar is a butterfly it should be able to fly.

I think the maggots are a good example. Noone would call them flies.

(thinking about it I came up with this, hope it makes it clearer and not more confusing. It is like calling a one year old human an adult, just because at one point in his life he will be one does not mean he is one now)>

Or if you make it a fable/childrens story: the squirrel asked the butterfly how long he has been a butterfly. The butterflies' answer will be the number of days since he came out of his chrysalis. "This is my first day as a butterfly, before that I was a caterpillar"

Yes, a maggot is called a maggot, but a maggot is a flies young which makes it a young fly....

A male cattle could be a bull or a steer, depending on if it has been castrated or not. Similarly, depending on castration, a male horse is either a stallion or a gelding and a male pig is a boar or a barrow.

I can't figure out why they have "colt" but not "filly". Also, if it were up to me I'd include "ox" and "gelding" also, but I guess we're not wanting to address the topic of animal castration here, are we?

Caterpillar and tadpole are not really young butterflies and frogs respectively. They are larvae and are, I believe, classed separately. Nobody looks at a tadpole and says "oh look, there's a young frog".

It would make the same amount of sense to accept the egg stage as it would the larval or pupal stage as an answer. Or they could improve the clues by instead of saying "young frog = tadpole" (which is wrong), changing the clue to "larval frog" or "larval butterfly"
