  1. The Lifecycle of a butterfly Mrs. Faith May 3, 2012 faith.winn@smail.astate.edu

  2. Eggs Tiny eggs are laid by the female on a leaf. Around 5 days later, a tiny wormlike creature will hatch.

  3. Caterpillar The caterpillar is the primary eating and growth stage of the insect.

  4. Pupa or chrysalis The pupa or chrysalis is the resting or transformation stage, and within it the marvelous transformation from caterpillar to adult takes place.

  5. Emerging from pupa or chrysalis The adult emerges from the chrysalis.

  6. Beautiful butterfly A butterfly is emerging now. The pupa skin splits, the limp, damp butterfly crawls out-now with compound eyes, a proboscis for feeding and six legs. The wings are expanded and blood is pumping into them. A little warming from the sun and it is now ready to fly off to feed and then lay its eggs.
