Butterfly Life Cycle Concepts

The video explains the life cycle of a butterfly, starting from the egg stage, where a female butterfly lays eggs on plants. These eggs hatch into caterpillars, which feed on leaves and grow into adult caterpillars. The caterpillar then transforms into a pupa, protected by a hardened case. Finally, the pupa develops into a butterfly, which emerges to search for food and continue the cycle by laying eggs.
