1. Four Stages of Butterfly Metamorphosis
The butterfly and moth develop through a process called metamorphosis.
This is a Greek word that means transformation or change in shape.
Insects have two common types of metamorphosis. Grasshoppers, crickets,
dragonflies, and cockroaches have incomplete metamorphosis. The young
(called a nymph) usually look like small adults but without the wings.
Butterflies have complete metamorphosis. The young (called a larva instead
of a nymph) is very different from the adults. It also usually eats different
types of food.
There are four stages in the metamorphosis of butterflies and moths: egg,
larva, pupa, and adult.

2. • Egg Stage
• Eggs are laid on plants by the adult female butterfly. These
plants will then become the food for the hatching caterpillars.
• Eggs can be laid from spring, summer or fall. This depends on
the species of butterfly. Females lay a lot of eggs at once so
that at least some of them survive.
• Butterfly eggs can be very small.

3. • Caterpillar: The Feeding Stage
• The next stage is the larva. This is also called a caterpillar if the insect is a
butterfly or a moth.
• The job of the caterpillar is to eat and eat and eat. As the caterpillar grows
it splits its skin and sheds it about 4 or 5 times. Food eaten at this time is
stored and used later as an adult.
• Caterpillars can grow 100 times their size during this stage. For example, a
monarch butterfly egg is the size of a pinhead and the caterpillar that
hatches from this tiny egg isn't much bigger. But it will grow up to 2 inches
long in several weeks.

4. • Pupa: The Transition Stage
• When the caterpillar is full grown and stops eating, it becomes a pupa. The pupa
of butterflies is also called a chrysalis.
• Depending on the species, the pupa may be suspended under a branch, hidden in
leaves or buried underground. The pupa of many moths is protected inside a
coccoon of silk.
• This stage can last from a few weeks, a month or even longer. Some species have a
pupal stage that lasts for two years.
• It may look like nothing is going on but big changes are happening inside. Special
cells that were present in the larva are now growing rapidly. They will become the
legs, wings, eyes and other parts of the adult butterfly. Many of the original larva
cells will provide energy for these growing adult cells.

5. • Adult: The Reproductive Stage
• The adult stage is what most people think of when they think of butterflies.
They look very different from the larva. The caterpillar has a few tiny eyes,
stubby legs and very short antennae. The adults have long legs, long
antennae, and compound eyes. They can also fly by using their large and
colorful wings. The one thing they can't do is grow.
• The caterpillar's job was to eat. The adult's job is to mate and lay eggs. Some
species of adult butterflies get energy by feeding on nectar from flowers but
many species don't feed at all.
• Flying comes in handy. The adult female can easily fly from place to place to
find the right plant for its eggs. This is important because caterpillars can't
travel far. Most adult butterflies live only one or two weeks,

6. • GEN 2: 8 Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden;
and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The LORD God made all kinds
of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and
good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
• 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to
work it and take care of it. And the LORD God commanded the man, “You
are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will
certainly die.”
• Outer Court =Body. Inner Court = Soul. Holy of Holies = Spirit

7. I AM THE TEMPLE OF GOD
• 1 Cor 3:16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are
God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your
midst?
• 1 Cor 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a
person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins
sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not
know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit,
who is in you, whom you have received from God? You
are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your bodies.

8. We Must Be Born Again!
• John 3 :
• Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member
of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi,
we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could
perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”
• Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God
unless they are born again.”
• “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked.
“Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be
born!”
• Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of
God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh,
but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my
saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You
hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is
going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

9. I’ve Been MADE Alive!!
• Ephesians 2:
• 1-3 To you, who were spiritually dead all the time that you drifted along
on the stream of this world’s ideas of living, and obeyed its unseen ruler
(who is still operating in those who do not respond to the truth of God), to
you Christ has given life! We all lived like that in the past, and followed the
impulses and imaginations of our evil nature, being in fact under the
wrath of God by nature, like everyone else.
• 4-10 But even though we were dead in our sins God, who is rich in
mercy, because of the great love he had for us, gave us life together with
Christ—it is, remember, by grace and not by achievement that you are
saved—and has lifted us right out of the old life to take our place with him
in Christ in the Heavens. Thus he shows for all time the tremendous
generosity of the grace and kindness he has expressed towards us in Christ
Jesus. It was nothing you could or did achieve—it was God’s gift to you. No
one can pride himself upon earning the love of God. The fact is that what
we are we owe to the hand of God upon us. We are born afresh in
Christ, and born to do those good deeds which God planned for us to do.

10. • 2 Cor. 5:17
• Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a
NEW creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new.
• Kainos = New
• 1) of a new kind, unprecedented, novel,
uncommon, unheard of!

11. John 3 : Must be born of Water & Spirit
• MUST BE BORN OF WATER (Word) Eph 5 washing with water through the
word,
• Romans 12
• I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to
God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.
• Transformed = metamorphoō or Metamorphosis
• 1) to change into another form, to transform

12. Must be born of spirit.
• 2 Cor 3:18
• But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in
a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being
transformed into the same image from glory
to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
• To behold: see, observe, view, look at, watch,
survey, witness, gaze at/upon, regard,
contemplate.

13. • Galations 2:20
• I have been crucified with Christ; it is no
longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and
the life which I now live in the flesh I live by
faith in the Son of God, who loved me and
gave Himself for me.

14. Romans 6
• 1.What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may
abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in
it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ
Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him
through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead
by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
• 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His
death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His
resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that
the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be
slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we
died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing
that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no
longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to
sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you
also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
