I agree, it is miraculous. the fact that dna is ultimately storing all the info for specifying neural circuits that robustly support such complex innate behaviors (often with very little post development tuning / learning) , that to me is mind-blowing. And butterfly behavior is one thing, but what about innate detection of predators in some visual systems? How do you encode a snake detector in dna?
