Metamorphosis

During the life cycle, the butterflies undergoes a complete change, called metamorphosis, in four stages. A butterfly begins life as an egg. After four days, a caterpillar, or a larva, hatches. For two weeks, it feasts on its eggshell and milkweed plants. Then it becomes a pupa by forming a protective shell called a chrysalis. Two weeks later, a butterfly emerges.
