1. Butterfly eggs
The eggs of butterflies are usually round or oval, with a waxy shell on the surface, which serves to prevent water evaporation. Butterflies lay their eggs on the foliage of plants to prepare food for the larvae that will be born later.
2. Butterfly larvae
The larvae that are born are mostly fleshy worms, with a few caterpillars in various shapes. The larvae need to eat a lot of green leaves as they grow, and go through several molts to mature.
3. Butterfly Pupa
When the larva matures, it will fix itself in a hidden place, such as the back of a leaf, with a few filaments, and then pupate.
4. Adult Butterfly
After the chrysalis matures, the butterfly will break its shell and burrow out from the chrysalis. The butterfly that has just emerged from the chrysalis needs time to let its tender wings stretch and harden, and after that it can spread its wings to fly.
