The adult is the butterfly, so those are not 2 different stages. But other than that, yes, those are the stages. In most groups of butterflies, the special term for the pupa is "chrysalis", but the generic term "pupa" applies to that stage in all insects, so you can never go wrong using "pupa". (I'm glad to see you didn't use "cocoon", as that term does not apply to butterflies, only certain moths.) :)

What are the stages in a butterflies development?

A butterfly goes through four stages of development: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly. The egg hatches into a caterpillar that eats and grows, then it forms a chrysalis where it undergoes metamorphosis into an adult butterfly. The adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis, ready to continue the life cycle by finding a mate and laying eggs.


What do you call à adult butterfly?

An adult butterfly is called a "imago." This is the final stage of its life cycle, which includes the egg, larva (caterpillar), and pupa (chrysalis) stages. The imago is characterized by its fully developed wings and reproductive organs, allowing it to mate and lay eggs, continuing the life cycle.


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 life cycle of a yellow, black, and white striped caterpillar?

The life cycle of a yellow, black, and white striped caterpillar typically involves four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly. The caterpillar hatches from an egg and feeds on leaves, growing in size. It then forms a chrysalis, where it undergoes metamorphosis and transforms into a butterfly. The adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis and continues the cycle by laying eggs to start the process again.


Whats the reproduction cicle of butterflies?

The butterfly is an insect that has 4 separate stages of life. The egg is the beginning of life for the caterpillar. The caterpillar then forms a chrysalis. After the caterpillar changes in the chrysalis to a butterfly, it emerges to restart the circle of life.


What is a baby butterfly called?

There is no such thing as a baby butterfly, they are born as adults. here is the way it works. A Butterfly lays eggs, these eggs hatch into caterpillar's, the caterpillars seal themselves into pupa or chrysalis inside of which they grow into an adult butterfly, when the time is right an adult butterfly breaks out of the pupa/chrysalis a lot like a chick coming from an egg and you have an adult butterfly ready to mate with other butterfly's that lay eggs once again. The closest thing to a baby butterfly will be the Caterpillar.
