no.
Larva is to butterfly. Larvae typically undergo metamorphosis to develop into their adult form, just like tadpoles transform into frogs.
What did you learn in kindergarten? A tadpole is like a worm, A frog is like a butterfly. Tadpoles are 100% aquatic, Frogs are amphibious. et cetera...
Caterpillars are butterflies. Think of it as tadpoles and frogs. The tadpole is a step in the life-cycle of a frog. The caterpillar is also a part of the like-cycle of a butterfly. It is just how babies grow and develop. A baby is always a baby, they just go through different steps in development, but once a baby, always a baby.
Caterpillar to a butterfly and tadpole to a frog.
It seems incredible, but they look like giraffes.
a frog does not look like there parents because they go through a metamorphosis. butterfly's and moths also go threw metamorphosis
Complete metamorphosis. Just like a butterfly, the grub larva forms a pupa and emerges as the winged adult. All beetles do this, btw. ^^
egg--tadpole--frog egg--meal worm--darkling beetle caterpillar--butterfly
look at the giraffe
It is a beetle with a long neck like a giraffe?
Like a giraffe...that hasn't eaten in a few years...
With the grasshopper the eggs hatch into animals that look like little adults. With butterflies the immature animals look nothing like the adult and live of different food. Also there is a "pupal" phase between the caterpillar and the butterfly.
