-
To grow into an adult butterfly, butterflies go through 4 stages A butterfly starts life as a very small, round, oval or cylindrical egg.
The egg is the first stage of a butterflies life cycle. -
Butterfly larvae are actually what we call caterpillars. Caterpillars do not stay in this stage for very long and mostly, in this stage all they do is eat.
-
When a caterpillar is done growing they form themselves into a pupa, also known as a chrysalis.
-
When the caterpillar has done all of its forming and changing inside the pupa, an adult butterfly emerges.
