What must a butterfly do when it first emerges from its chrysalis?

When a butterfly first emerges from its chrysalis, it needs to pump fluid from its body into its wings to expand and straighten them. This process helps the butterfly to dry its wings and prepare for flight. Once its wings are dry and fully formed, the butterfly can begin its life outside the chrysalis.


The hard case around a butterfly larva?

The hard case around a butterfly larva is called a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, the larva undergoes metamorphosis and transforms into a butterfly. The chrysalis provides protection for the developing butterfly as it prepares to emerge.


What is a Monarch Butterfly Chrysalis made of?

A Monarch Butterfly chrysalis is made of hardened protein called chitin, which is secreted by the caterpillar as it forms the protective outer layer during the pupal stage. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar undergoes metamorphosis, transforming into a butterfly.


What is a butterfly life cycle?

The adult butterfly lays her eggs, caterpillars (larvae) hatch and eat until they are ready to become a chrysalis (pupa). The adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. Most species (in warm weather) will be an egg for 3-5 days, a caterpillar from 2-4 weeks, a chrysalis for 1-2 weeks, and an adult butterfly for 2-4 weeks.


What is the process of a worm transforming into a butterfly inside a cocoon?

During metamorphosis, a worm transforms into a butterfly inside a cocoon through four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly. The caterpillar forms a chrysalis around itself, where it undergoes a complete transformation, including the breakdown of its body and the development of wings and other adult features. Finally, the adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis and begins its life cycle.
