Life Cycle of a Butterfly
Learn about the process of metamorphosis and how the catepillar transforms into a butterfly with the help of our lovely, colourful resources.
Butterfly eggs are very small. The female butterfly lays her eggs on leaves or stems of plants that the young will feed on.
The larva or caterpillar hatches from the eggs. Caterpillars have huge appetites and feed almost constantly.
The caterpillar attaches itself to a twig and the exoskeleton splits to reveal the chrysalis. The chrysalis (or pupa) hangs down from the twig. Inside the body of the caterpillar is transforming into the butterfly.
The chrysalis casing splits and the adult butterfly emerges.
The butterfly will go on to mate and lay eggs so the cycle can begin again.
