Verb: to emerge from an egg, chrysalis, or pupa

Technically they hatch more than once....they do hatch out from a pupa.

If people go to Hollywood to get there information on history or biology they have a 99.99% chance of getting bad information. The problem is a large number of people do just that. And after a while it becomes common known perceived fact and you will hear some newscaster on CNN tell the same information on the news.
That is why I very much enjoy giving beekeeping lectures at local schools. Kids are very open to learn how things really work. And a great opportunity to get a lot of foolish notions about bulls having utters becoming what they really are laughable.
