Butterflies are insects with very amazing wings, bright colors, and graceful flight, captivating our imagination. However, before becoming this amazing creature, butterflies have to go through several phases such as egg, larva, pupa, and adult butterfly.
The egg phase starts with the female butterfly laying eggs, which are usually attached to leaves, stems, and flowers. These butterfly eggs are very small and have a round shape. The phase starts when the egg hatches and a larva or caterpillar emerges. These caterpillars usually feed on leaves. Caterpillars spend their time only eating because it fulfills their nutrients to develop before turning into a cocoon. The pupa stage starts once the caterpillar has reached its full size, it enters the pupa stage, also known as the chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, remarkable transformations occur.

After passing through various phases, the chrysalis finally turns into a beautiful butterfly. at first, after coming out, the butterfly's wings are still soft, but after a while the wings become strong and they are ready for adventure.
