The butterfly's life cycle
Butterflies go four stages of life, but they only look like butterflies in the final stage. Birds, frogs, snakes and insects also change as they grow. 1. An adult butterfly lays an egg. 2. The egg hatches into a caterpillar or larva. 3. The caterpillar forms the chrysalis or pupa. 4. The chrysalis matures into a butterfly. |
