Butterfly Life Cycle Summary

In a brief overview of the life cycle of a butterfly, the author explains the four main stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult butterfly. Each stage plays a vital role in the transformation and development of the butterfly. During the egg stage, the female lays eggs on the host plant. The larva, commonly known as a caterpillar, emerges from the egg and feeds on leaves. As the caterpillar grows, it eventually enters the pupa stage, where it undergoes metamorphosis. Finally, the fully formed adult butterfly emerges from the pupa, ready to live its life and reproduce.
