      emergence of three other species, which sprang out of the butterfly like Russian dolls.

      That was a good read thanks mate. Now all I can think of is a chest buster coming out of a chest buster and then another chest buster comes out of that one and cant stop laughing at the absurdity of knowing Xzibit did this.
