It would be amazing to live once as a caterpillar, then be transformed to live once again, as a butterfly... I liked this interesting haiku, Rajat. Nice work!

moths are nocturnal and butterflies are diurnal insects. so this allusion day-night cycle/ birth-death-rebirth cycle/ your interpretation is so good and inspiring. Love Kelly. I have your poems. They are so gratifying.Hugs! rajat

Rajat, I have not seen a line repeated in haiku before, which makes this one unique and memorable. I like the mix of night and day as in the taijitu symbol of contrast I feel portrayed by your moths and butterflies. The harmony of night and day....
