Metamorphosis of butterfly

metamorphosis of Butterfly

Metamorphosis is the name for rapid transformation of larva into and adult that occurs in some insects. The butterfly goes through four stages to become adult butterfly, the process can be called metamorphosis.

There are 4 stages:

1.    Eggs :

Female butterfly put their eggs on plants to enable caterpillar (later stage) to get the food from plant leafs.

2.    Larva :

Is also called caterpillar, it emerges from egg after few days. Caterpillar spends most of it’s time eating.

3.    Pupa :

The caterpillar forms a protective shield called pupa when it has finished growing most of the transformation takes place in side pupa.

4.    Butterfly :

When the pupa has finished transformation the butterfly emerges from the pupa. The adult butterfly lays eggs on plants after mating period.  

That’s all my presentation, our group hope the explanation become knowledge to give a short look of how metamorphosis take place.
