Butterfly Life Cycle and Behavior

The video explains the life cycle of a butterfly, which undergoes metamorphosis through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and butterfly. It starts with a riddle about butterflies and describes how they transform from caterpillars into butterflies. The egg stage involves laying eggs on plants, which hatch into caterpillars. In the larva stage, caterpillars eat and molt multiple times. The pupa stage involves forming a chrysalis where the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. Finally, in the butterfly stage, the butterfly emerges, dries its wings, and feeds on nectar. The video concludes with an encouragement to observe butterflies in nature.
