Idris the Inchworm

This is the story of Idris, the inchworm. Idris is quite different from most caterpillars because he doesn’t have little legs in his middle. This causes him to move ever so slowly with a hump in his crawl. However, just like Gabriel, he turns into a most beautiful flying creature - the Geometer moth - another great pollinator in the Land of Terra.

You might think that Idris is not quite a caterpillar because he moves with a hump in his middle, but this is not the case. Just like Jefferson, Idris negotiates life as best he can and, after his very long sleep, he awakens to the flight of his very own butterfly. Idris is very lucky - during his life, he can see the Land of Terra from the ground and from the air above.  First, he crawls among the most wonderful Terra smells and then he flies on the top of the winds. Each landing he makes is soft and fragrant and meaningful. When Idris flutters from one flower to the next, he helps to pollinate Terra and provide food for many of its creatures. Perhaps the inchworm is a most important part of our world …
