Life Cycle Transformation of Butterflies

The video explains the life cycle of a butterfly, starting from eggs laid on plant leaves. These eggs hatch into caterpillars, which feed and grow by shedding their skin. Once mature, the caterpillar forms a chrysalis, entering the pupa stage. After about 15 days, an adult butterfly emerges, expands its wings, and prepares to fly. This transformation process is called metamorphosis.
