The complete life cycle of the butterfly.
The egg is a tiny round oval object, usually with fine ribs and other microscopic structures. The female attaches the egg to leaves, stems, or other objects, usually on or near the intended caterpillar food.
Stage 1: The Egg
While in the egg stage the caterpillar grows in the inside of the egg.
Stage 1: The Egg
Stage 2: The Larva
The caterpillar (or larva) is the long, worm-like stage of the butterfly. It often has an interesting pattern of stripes or patches, and it may have spine-like hairs. It is the feeding and growth stage. As it grows, it sheds its skin four or more times so as to enclose its rapidly growing body.
Stage 2: The LarvaWhile in the caterpillar stage it eats as much as it can. The caterpillar usually eats leaves. While it grows the skin sheds like a snake. The purpose of the caterpillar eats so much is to store all the food for the next stage.
Stage 3: Pupa
The chrysalis (or pupa) is the transformation stage within which the caterpillar forms a protective shell around its body so it can change forms from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Once the caterpillar is fully grown the shell splits open.
The adult is colorful butterfly. It is the reproductive and the final stage for the species. The adult butterfly is also the stage that forms new habitats. The butterfly pictured here is a Monarch which is fairly large in size. When the wings of the butterfly are dry the butterflies know to look for food. The food the butterfly looks for is mainly nectar from plants.
Stage 4: The Adult
