Introduction
The butterfly and moth develop through a process called metamorphosis. This is a Greek word that means transformation or change in shape.
Insects have two common types of metamorphosis. Grasshoppers, crickets, dragonflies, and cockroaches have incomplete metamorphosis. The young (called a nymph) usually look like small adults but without the wings.
Butterflies, moths, beetles, flies and bees have complete metamorphosis. The young (called a larva instead of a nymph) is very different from the adults. It also usually eats different types of food.
There are four stages in the metamorphosis of butterflies and moths: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

Conclusion
Stage 1. Egg –
Female Butterflies lay their eggs on plant leaves and stems
➤ Stage 2. Caterpillar or Larva
A Caterpillar hatches from the egg.
The Caterpillar spends its most of the time eating and growing.
The first meal for most caterpillars is the eggshell and then they eat the leaf they were born onto.
At this stage, it sheds its skin four or five times.
Stage 3. Pupa or Chrysalis
During this stage, the old body parts of the caterpillar go through an incredible change called Metamorphosis.
Inside the chrysalis its organs are beginning to form. In a couple of days, the butterfly is fully formed in the chrysalis.
Stage 4. Adult Butterfly –
The adult butterfly comes out of the pupa with wet and wrinkled wings.
The butterfly hangs with its wings down and starts pumping a liquid called HEMOLYMPH to their wings so that they become big and strong.
This is the last stage of the life cycle of a butterfly.
