The four stages of the butterfly life cycle are egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly.

Female butterflies lay their eggs on the leaves of a plant.

The primary goal of the caterpillar stage is to eat and store energy for the next phase of their life cycle.

During the pupa stage, the caterpillar undergoes metamorphosis, transforming into a butterfly.

The pupa stage can last from a few weeks to several months, depending on the species and environmental conditions.

When the adult butterfly first emerges from the chrysalis, its wings are soft and crumpled. After a few hours, they expand and harden, allowing the butterfly to fly.

The life span of adult butterflies can vary greatly, from a few days to several months.

Butterflies play an essential role in the ecosystem as pollinators, helping plants reproduce by transferring pollen from one flower to another.
