The Female Butterfly lays her eggs on leaves, in a Monarch butterflies case this is usually on a swan plant.
-
-
Caterpillars hatch from the eggs between 7-20 days after they are layed and then begin to feed
-
The Caterpillar eats and eats till he is big and strong and then attaches himself upside down to a leaf and begins to spin a cocoon
-
The Caterpillar spins a cocoon that covers his entire body while inside here he tranforms into a butterfly
-
This is when the Butterly breaks free of his cocoon
-
Transformation complete, the cycle has come full circle and the butterfly will now fly off searching for food and a mate so it can begin all over again
