Butterfly Metamorphosis and Life Cycle

The video tutorial reviews the complete metamorphosis of a butterfly, which is a perfect metamorphosis. It begins with the egg stage, where small eggs are laid on leaves. After 3-5 days, these eggs hatch into larvae or caterpillars, which feed on leaves and molt several times. The larva then transforms into a pupa or chrysalis, undergoing significant changes. Finally, an adult butterfly emerges, ready to reproduce and lay eggs, restarting the cycle.

Why is butterfly metamorphosis considered complete?

• Because it does not involve a pupal stage.

• Because the stages are distinctly different.

• Because the butterfly looks the same throughout its life.

• Because it involves only two stages.
