The Four Stages
Egg
The adult female butterfly lays an egg that was fertilized by the male
Caterpillar
The egg hatches into a tiny larva or caterpillar. The caterpillar eats and grows a tremendous amount.
Chrysalis
Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar changes into a butterfly. The chrysalis usually hangs from tree leaves and is camouflaged to hide from predators.
Adult Butterfly
A fully grown butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
Life of the Butterfly
Adult butterflies only live for a short time. They cannot eat, they only drink through their straw-like proboscis. They will fly, mate, and reproduce.
