The Life Cycle of a Butterfly

The life cycle of a butterfly is a fascinating process that includes four main stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly.

1. Egg: The cycle begins when a female butterfly lays her eggs on the leaves of a plant. These tiny eggs can vary in color and shape depending on the butterfly species.

2. Larva (Caterpillar): After a few days, the eggs hatch into caterpillars. Caterpillars are known for their insatiable appetite and grow quickly, shedding their skin several times as they outgrow it.

3. Pupa (Chrysalis): Once the caterpillar is fully grown, it forms a protective casing around itself called a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar undergoes a remarkable transformation, changing into a butterfly.

4. Adult Butterfly: After a few weeks, the adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. At first, its wings are crumpled and wet, but soon they expand and dry. The butterfly then takes flight, searching for food and a mate to begin the cycle again.

How does Step 1 (the egg stage) contribute to the overall structure of the text about the life cycle of a butterfly?

• A) It introduces the problem that the butterfly faces.

• B) It sets the foundation for the chronological order of events.

• C) It compares the life cycle of a butterfly to other insects.

• D) It describes the environment where butterflies live.
