The stages of complete metamorphosis in butterflies are the egg --> larva --> pupa --> adult. A butterfly larva (caterpillar) hatches from an egg and starts eating. At the end of the larval stage, the larva attaches to a branch or leaf on a plant and then forms a chrysalis (pupal stage), inside of which its cells rearrange themselves to form the adult butterfly. Eventually the adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis to begin the cycle again.
