METAMORPHOSIS
•The series of changes that some animals go through as they develop from eggs to larvae to adults.
Butterfly Metamorphosis
The Four Stages of Metamorphosis
•1. egg
•2. larva
•3. pupa
•4. adult
Stage 1 - Egg
The female butterfly lays the eggs. During her life, a female can lay between several dozen to several hundred eggs.
Stage 2 - Larva
Butterfly larvae are also known as caterpillars. The goal of the caterpillars is to eat as much as possible before the next stage of metamorphosis takes place.
Stage 3 - Pupa
The pupa is also called a “chrysalis.” This is a hardened protective covering where the caterpillar changes into a butterfly.
Stage 4 - Adult
