Overview

Butterflies, as well as many other insects, go through a metamorphosis in their life. A

metamorphosis

is a process of transformation

or change in shape that many organisms, including moths and butterflies, develop through

.

Butterflies have

a

complete

life

cycle known as a

complete metamorphosis

.

This

means that there

are

separate

stages in which each one looks completely

different and

has

a different purpose in the life of the insect

.

The Butterfly Life Cycle includes

four (4)

main stages: the Beginning stage (egg),the Feeding stage (caterpillar/larva), the Transition stage (chrysalis/pupa), & the Reproductive stage (adult

).

Slide3

1) The Beginning Stage: Egg

An

egg

is

a tiny, round, oval, or cylindrical object, usually with fine ribs and other microscopic structures

.The female butterfly attaches the egg to leaves, stems, or other objects, usually on or near the intended caterpillar food.

Slide4

2) The Feeding Stage: Caterpillar (Larva)

A

caterpillar (also known as larva) is

the

long, worm-like stage of the butterfly or moth. It often has an interesting pattern of stripes or patches, and it may have spine-like hairs. It is the feeding and growth

stage.As it grows, it sheds its skin four or more times so as to enclose its rapidly growing body.

Slide5

3) The Transition Stage: Chrysalis (Pupa)

The

chrysalis (also known as pupa)

is

the transformation stage within which the caterpillar tissues are broken down and the adult insect's structures are formed

.The chrysalis of most species is brown or green and blends into the background.

Slide6

4) The Reproductive Stage: Adult

The

adult (also known as imago)

is the

colorful butterfly or moth usually seen. It is the reproductive and mobile stage for the species. The adults undergo courtship, mating, and egg-laying. The adult butterfly or moth is also the stage that migrates or colonizes new habitats

.The butterfly pictured here is a called the Monarch. The Monarch's wingspan is 3 3/8 - 4 7/8 inches (8.6 - 12.4 cm).
