The butterfly Life Cycle Stages

Goes through four stages of its life cycle:
The eggs, the larva, the chrysalis and the butterfly.
The butterfly belongs to the insect family,
What distinguishes it is that it has large wings compared to other types of insects,
Generally these wings are coloured in distinct and striking colours,
and there are different types of butterflies that differ in their shape and the colors of their wings,
but they are similar to the four stages of their life cycle:
an egg, a larva a cocoon and a butterfly, and its lifespan as a full-fledged butterfly varies from a week to a year, depending on the type of butterfly

The stage of the egg This is the first stage of its life cycle, and the shape of the egg differs from one type of butterfly to another, ome types of butterflies have round eggs, others have oval eggs and others have cylindrical eggs,

The butterfly is a type of insect that attaches its eggs to the leaves using a special glue,
Young larvae eat plants
These stick to the branches or leaves before discarding the outer layer until a solid layer appears, To protect it and fix it on the leaf of the tree, and it is also covered with a wax layer that preserves the moisture inside the egg to preserve the life of the incomplete butterfly embryo, and the stage of the egg lasts for a period of several weeks to several months and this also depends on the type of butterfly.Larval stage: Eggs hatch and release a larva in the form of a coloured worm of different colours depending on the type of butterfly
it is very small at first, then feeds voraciously on the leaves of the trees and develops rapidly, and this does not last long at the stage of its life cycle, and although it is like a worm, it is not green enough, it has three pairs of very short legs. The cocoon scene Before reaching the third stage, the larva stops feeding on the leaves of the trees and begins to look for a suitable place to make a cocoon around itself,
Usually on one of the thin branches of the tree, and at the stage of the cocoon and inside, the change of shape of the larva begins and the wings develop and the shape of the body
Summary
The stage of the chrysalis, the butterfly leaves the shell lasts and waits several hours until a solid layer appears. They fill with blood and dry before flying for the first time. The butterfly can live in its adult stage from a week to a year. Butterflies have four brightly coloured wings, different and unique patterns, and enjoy taste receptors on their paws, and there are about 20,000 species of butterflies
