The document summarizes the life cycle of a butterfly in 4 stages: 1) Egg stage where eggs hatch in 3-5 days. 2) Larvae stage where caterpillars eat leaves until ready to pupate. 3) Pupa stage which is a resting period lasting 7-20 days where the insect transforms. 4) Adult butterfly stage where new butterflies emerge with wings, dry them, and fly to lay new eggs continuing the cycle.
2. ROTATION LIFE OF BUTTERFLY
However the longer of the process but its simple. The
first egg laid by a butterfly on a leaf (usually orange tree
leaves or other leaves) the leaves could be the caterpillars
food to reach adult after it was time to pupa / cocoon
and in a few days will be a new butterfly.
4. LARVAE STAGE
Larvae butterfly shape varies, but most of the cylindrical shape, and
sometimes have hair, thorns. Larvae eat the leaves.
When the larvae reach maximum growth, the larvae will stop eating, running
for the nearest shelter, attach themselves to twigs or leaves with woven thread.
5. PUPA STAGE
Pupa when viewed from the outside as the rest period, whereas in a process
of formation of an insect pupa perfect. Generally pupa is green, brown or
color according to the surroundings (camouflage) formation in the butterfly
pupa usually lasts for 7-20 days depending on the species.
6. ADULT BUTTERFLY STAGE
After out of the pupa, the butterfly will crawl upward so that its wings
hanging down and expand normally. As soon as the wings dry, fluffy and
strong, wings will open and close several times and attempted to fly. Then the
butterfly will grow up and lay eggs again.
