describe the stages of the butterfly lifecycle
user
the butterfly lifecycle has four distinct stages: egg, larvae (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. the egg is laid by an adult female butterfly and hatched after a few days. the larvae stage usually lasts 1-3 weeks and is when the caterpillar eats and grows until it reaches its full size. during the pupa stage, the caterpillar's body re-organizes and it forms the chrysalis. the adult butterfly emerges from the pupa after a few weeks and is ready to reproduce and lay more eggs.
