I don't know if this has been suggested before if not; if it has sorry. We had the bug collecting over the summer and now we have a couple of caterpillars from Quentin. It would be great if you added the host plants to seedlings and feed the caterpillars for a couple of days, they change into a chrysalis and then a few more days, they change into the butterfly.
I really like this idea, I imagine it could put the gardens to some use too. Once a plant has fully grown, maybe a caterpillar could be added to a plant instead of picking the plant.
Forum art by me
We kinda have this kind of feature.. You can find a bug in the Oofa Fruit and then you can use it with the Time Machine item to change it to a butterfly or other butterfly related bugs... For example: + =
So if we already have this kind of feature, I would prefer to stick to it and just extend it with the new bugs..
Yeah, but the time machine is expensive, and it might not work on the caterpillars (not sure if they do or not). They could add the plants as either seeds that you plant in the garden and grow, or they can add the actual host plant to seedlings. It's just something a little bit different
That's a really old mechanic that we've tried to move away from (using items in that way) because it's confusing and isn't really outlined anywhere.
It actually originates from an even older mechanic, where if you had one of those minions on your pet over time it would turn into the final form. Unfortunately without really good documentation that it will happen, users got upset because their minions changed so we added the time machine.
I think that the time machine is a really poor solution to something like this :)

you are right and after reading what Keith said, I'm so supporting your suggestion because I love things with evolutions :)
Thanks for the explanation, I was not a user yet at that time so I didn't know that the time machine was a solution for those minions "^_^
