What is the life cycle of a butterfly?

Transcript

The life cycle of a butterfly consists of four main stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly. The process begins when a female butterfly lays her eggs on suitable host plants. After a few days, the eggs hatch into caterpillars, which eat voraciously and grow rapidly. Once fully grown, the caterpillar forms a chrysalis, where metamorphosis occurs. Finally, the adult butterfly emerges, ready to mate and continue the cycle by laying eggs on new plants.
