Butterfly Life Cycle
First The Egg Tiny eggs are laid by the female on a leaf. Around 5 days later, a tiny wormlike creature will hatch.
Larva The caterpillar is the primary eating and growth stage of the insect.
Chrysalis The pupa or chrysalis is the resting or transformation stage, and within it the marvelous transformation from caterpillar to adult takes place.
Adult A butterfly or moth is emerging now. The pupa skin splits, the limp, damp butterfly crawls out-now with compound eyes, a proboscis for feeding and six legs. The wings are expanded and blood is pumping into them. A little warming from the sun and it is now ready to fly off to feed and then lay its eggs.
