A butterfly begins as an egg that hatches and transforms into a caterpillar, which then consumes and expands over time, before eventually shedding its skin several times and emerging as an adult butterfly. Once a caterpillar lays her eggs,…
A butterfly starts its journey as an embryonic egg that has been fertilized, then hatches under favorable environmental conditions into an egg larva or caterpillar stage. A larva eats and develops, gradually shedding its skin four or five times as it goes along; this process is known as moulting. A larva then forms a pupal…
