Life Cycles This software has been created to inform classmates about the life cycle of a butterfly. The program explains how the life cycle of the butterfly develops, and includes games to reinforce this life cycle. The Life Cycle Of the Butterfly Stage 1 The Egg Butterfly eggs differ from one to another. Sometimes the adult lays one egg, other times they lay hundreds of them. The egg can range in color from green and red, to yellow or brown. The eggs can be long and oval like a pickle, or can be flat and round like a pancake. Stage 2 The Larvae or Caterpillar The larvae is what comes from the egg. The larvae does not look like a butterfly. It looks more like a worm-known as a caterpillar. The caterpillar grows larger by molting its skin several times and eating large amounts of food. This stage takes from two weeks to one month to complete. Stage 3 The Pupa Stage 3 begins when the caterpillar enters a chrysalis, or cocoon known as the pupa. The pupa does not eat during this stage, but does grow wings, legs and internal organs. It may take just four days or up to several months to complete this stage. Stage 4 The Adult When the adult breaks out of the pupa, it is a beautiful butterfly. The new adult butterfly is immediately ready for reproduction. The life span of a butterfly lasts from just a few days up to 12 months. Do you know the life cycle of the butterfly?
