The first Stage, The Egg
The egg is a round, oval object. The female attaches the egg to leaves, stems, or other objects, usually on or near the intended caterpillar food. Butterfly eggs are usually laid on the leaves of plants, so if you are actively searching for these very tiny eggs., you will have to take some time and examine quite a few leaves in order to find some.
The second Stage: The Larva (Caterpillar)
The caterpillar (or larva) is the long worm-like stage of the butterfly or moth. It has patterns and stripes or patches and it may have spine-like hairs. As it grows, it sheds its skin four or more times so as to enclose its rapidly growing body.
Third Stage. The chrysalis
The chrysalis is in the transformation stage of the caterpillar and the adult insect's structures are formed. The chrysalis of most species is brown or green and blends into the background.
Last Stage Butterfly
The adult is colorful butterfly or moth usually seen. It is the reproductive and mobile stage for the species.
