butterflies




 * **egg** - the tiny orb laid by a female butterfly. Eggs are usually laid on the underside of leaves - they hatch into larvae.
 * larva** - (also called the caterpillar) this stage hatches from the egg. The larva spends its time eating, growing and molting (shedding its outgrown exoskeleton).
 * pupa** - the stage in a butterfly's life when it is encased in a chrysalis and undergoes metamorphosis into the adult, winged form.
 * adult** - the winged adult which will mate and reproduce. Adults do not eat, they only sip liquids through a straw-like proboscis.
