How do butterflies take care of their offspring?

Answer 1

Butterflies do not care for their young as other animals do. They lay eggs on plants that their offspring can eat and that is the end of their care. Blue Morpho butterflies lay eggs on several plants including the pea plant family the caterpillars prefer.

Answer 2

Female butterflies typically lay their eggs on specific host plants that their caterpillars will feed on. Once the eggs hatch, the caterpillars eat the leaves of the host plant as they grow and develop. Some butterfly species also exhibit behaviors such as guarding, protecting, or camouflaging their eggs to increase offspring survival rates.

Answer 3

Butterflies do not care for their young at all. After the eggs are laid the butterfly either leaves or most die afterwards. The eggs hatch into caterpillars and the caterpillars in turn eat the leaf on which they hatched, and continue to feed on the plant. Until the time they build a cocoon then do through complete metamorphosis and become a butterfly.

Answer 4
