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.
