Study Notes
- Butterflies undergo a four-stage life cycle: egg, caterpillar, pupa, and adult butterfly.
- Female butterflies lay eggs, which hatch into caterpillars that grow by eating leaves and shedding their skin through molting.
- Caterpillars then transform into pupae by hanging upside down in a cocoon (chrysalis) where they grow their wings.
- The final stage is when the adult butterfly emerges from the cocoon, spreads its wings, and flies off to lay its own eggs, repeating the cycle.
- This transformation from caterpillar to butterfly is called metamorphosis, where animals like frogs also go through stages from egg to adult.
