Butterfly Life Cycle and Behavior

The video tutorial explains the life cycle of a butterfly, starting with the egg-laying process where butterflies lay their eggs on preferred leaves. The eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on leaves and molt several times. The larvae then transform into pupae, fasting for a period before emerging as butterflies. Initially, the butterflies have small, wet wings that expand and dry. Finally, the butterflies feed on nectar from flowers during the day.
