The life cycle of a butterfly has four main stages egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly. It starts when a female butterfly lays eggs on a leaf. These eggs hatch into caterpillars, which spend their time eating leaves and growing quickly. After reaching full size, the caterpillar forms a chrysalis, where it undergoes a transformation.
Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar changes into a beautiful adult butterfly. This process is called metamorphosis. When the transformation is complete, the butterfly emerges, dries its wings, and begins to fly. The adult butterfly then finds a mate, and the cycle starts again. This fascinating life cycle shows how animals can change dramatically as they grow. Shutdown123
