What are the stages of a butterfly’s life cycle?
Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis, which includes four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly.
How long does it take for a butterfly to develop?
The process varies by species but typically takes 30 days to several months. Some species even overwinter in the chrysalis stage.
Why is each stage important?
Each stage serves a unique purpose, from growth and food storage in the caterpillar stage to transformation in the chrysalis.
