BUTTERFLY LIFE CYCLE
The Egg Larva (Caterpillar) Pupa Adult

The LIFE-CYCLE OF A BUTTERFLY

life cycle Butterflies and moths undergo complete metamorphosis in which they go through four different life stages.
  • Egg - A butterfly starts its life as an egg.
  • Larva - The larva (caterpillar) hatches from an egg and eats leaves or flowers almost constantly. The caterpillar molts (loses its old skin) many times as it grows.
  • Pupa - It turns into a pupa (chrysalis); this is a resting stage.
  • Adult - A beautiful, flying adult emerges. There is no growth during this stage. This adult will continue the cycle and reproduce.
