The Life Cycle of a Butterfly
 The Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Metamorphosis is a series of major changes in an

animal’s body form as it moves through its life cycle.
Butterflies and moths undergo a complete
metamorphosis, which means there are four separate
stages in the life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, and adult).
Each stage looks completely different and serves a
different purpose in the life of the insect.
 The Life Cycle of a Butterfly

1ST STAGE
Egg Stage: butterflies and moths belong often require
specific plants, called host plants, on which to lay
eggs. A butterfly usually lays 200-500 eggs which vary
in shape and size depending on the species. Most
species hatch in four to five days, while others may
take as long as three weeks.

2ND Stage
Larva Stage: When the eggs hatch, tiny caterpillars begin
feeding and growing. Its first meal is usually the eggshell, which
provides it with important nutrients. Then it will begin eating the
host plant. Almost all caterpillars eat leaves, but some eat stems,
roots, fruits, seeds, seed pods or flowers. As they eat and their
bodies grow bigger, their skin becomes tight and eventually splits
and sheds, revealing new skin beneath. This is called molting and
occurs several times as the larva grows.

3rd Stage
Pupa Stage: When the caterpillar has grown enough, it finds a
protected spot and form a case in which they change or transform.
During this stage, most moth caterpillars spin a silken to create a
cocoon while most butterfly caterpillars form a hard thickened skin
cocoon. The pupa undergoes change. The caterpillar releases digestive
juices that break down most of its body into a “tissue cell soup” from
which it develops four wings, new legs, new eyes, and new
mouthparts,. When the insect emerges, its metamorphosis is complete.

4th Stage
Adult Stage: The fully developed adult splits the case open, crawls
out and hangs upside down to facilitate stretching and drying its
wings. Its wings are inflated by pumping fluid into the wing veins. At
this stage, the wings are very soft and wet, and the butterfly must
remain suspended while waiting up to two hours for its wings to dry.
Once the wings are stretched and dried, the adult flies off to feed,
find a mate and begin the cycle again. The average adult lifespan is
two weeks but ranges from several days to as long as 11 months.
