Life cycle of butterflies

The butterfy cycle consists on four stages which are egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

The first stage, Egg, is known when the moth deposits the fetilized eggs on an appropiate host plant.

Then that's how the beginning of their life cycle starts.

After the is egg is develop, that's when the larva hatches from the egg. In other wrods, the larva is the caterpillars

The first instar is when it grows way too big for its cuticle, it starts to molt. It should take a break from eating because it preprares to molt.

The second instar is when it

The pupal stage is when the transformation happens. this stage can be known as the resting stage.

During this stage, the pupa does not eats nor moves when it is inside the cocoon.

After the pupal case is completed, the moth will rest unitl it the appropiate time and it will time to emerge.

Changes of temperature, chemical signals, light may start the adults emergence from the cocoon.

The imago (adult) emerges from its pupal with a shriveled wing and swollen abdomen. The moth/butterfly will pump hemolymph into the veins in its wings to expand them

After the wings are fully expanded and dried, the moth can fly and start searching for a mate.
