Metamorphosis the name for rapid transformation of a larva into an adult that occurs in some insects. The butterfly goes through four stages to become adult butterfly. There are 4 Stages:

Egg: Female butterfies lay their eggs on plants to enable their caterpillars (later stage) to get the food from plant leaves.

Larva: Also called Caterpillar. It emerges from egg after few days. Caterpillars spend most of their time eating.

Pupa: The Caterpillar forms a protection shield called Pupa when it has finished growing. Most of the transformation takes place in side Pupa. Butterflies have a chrysalis and a moth has a cocoon.

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