What animals have a 4-stage life cycle?
Caterpillars the larva, Caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly.
Does a black swallowtail butterfly eat parsley?
The larval stage of Eastern Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) does have parsley as one of its host plants, meaning: the caterpillars eat parsley (as well as dill and carrot tops.) If you see them in your garden-- don't kill them! Plant more parsley and enjoy the beautiful adult stage.
Do All Caterpillars Make a chrysalis?
Moths make a Cocoon, and butterflies make a chrysalis. But I do believe that all caterpillars (that make it alive) must go through their pupa stage.
What insect camouflages itself as bird dung?
Swallowtail butterfly [of the Papilionidae family], as caterpillars in the larval stage. Some weevils [of the Curculionidae family].
What is special about caterpillars?
Metamorphosis is what is special about caterpillars. The animals in question represent the larval stage of lepidopterans. They serve as the transition between the shell-encased eggs and the cocoon-enshrouded pupae in the life cycles of butterflies and moths.
How are caterpillars and butterfly's different?
Caterpillars and butterflies are different because the caterpillar is the out side of a butterfly. It may sound silly but a caterpillar sheds 6 times, four times as a caterpillar , once when it makes a pupa. When the butterfly hatches from it's cocoon it is really shedding it. Caterpillars are different because caterpillars are the early stage of the butterfly.
What stage in butterfly's life cycle does a butterfly spend inside a cocoon?
The butterfly's pupa stage is spent inside a cocoon
When does a caterpillar die?
A caterpillars is the larva of a butterfly, moth, or other insect. Most caterpillars are destroyed by weather or eaten by birds, reptiles, insects, and other animals. Any that are not killed will develop into a pupa stage, usually sheathed in a silken cocoon from which it will emerge as a fully grown adult insect.
Do earthworms turn into a cocoon?
Some insects, such as moths, butterflies and wasps, spin cocoons in their larval stage in order to protect the insect during its pupal stage, during which it cannot act to protect itself. If the cocoon is unwrapped, the pupal insect can appear worm-like, but is not a true worm. The four stages of insect life are embryo, larva, pupa and imagoEarthworms are not insects, but large segmented animals of the phylum Annelida which are segmented worms that may live in the ground. (Other types of true worms may live in the water, or as parasites such as tapeworms.) They do not form skeletons at any stage in their lives. They do not ever create cocoons.Many creatures have been traditionally referred to as worms, adding to the confusion here. Ranging from caterpillars to dragons, 'worm' is as non-specific in layman's language as 'bug', though both have very specific biological definitions. For example, the caterpillar (larva) of the black swallowtail butterfly is commonly called a 'parsley worm'.By the way, earthworms do not turn into a cocoon. you may be referring to caterpillars. Earthworms only go underground and hope for the best i hope this helps
How do caterpillars mate?
Caterpillars are born...... First, they make a concoon and it takes about 2 weeks for some, others take months. Then, it goes through a cycle..... Finally, it comes out of its concoon and turned into a butterfly.
A cocoon form in the stage of metamorphosis?
pupa
What a pupa of butterfly eats?
Pupas do not eat. The pupa is a caterpillar, in a state of dormancy, completely encased in a cocoon. During this stage they do not eat, drink, or move at all. They grow wings, legs, and other parts to become an adult butterfly. Because they can't eat in their pupa stage, caterpillars eat massive amounts of food to have plenty of stored energy before they become encased in their cocoon.
