Butterflies: Understanding, Metamorphosis, Classification, and Examples
Hi friend ......... This time we will discuss about insects that have beautiful wings and variety, what is there that know? yups, the answer is Butterfly. Well let's look at the following explanation.

Butterfly is a type of insect that is included in the order of Lepidoptera that is insects with winged scales. Butterflies have beautiful and varied colors. Butterflies are diurnal animals or animals that are active during the day. Butterflies can live for a week or half a month depending on the species. Butterflies can experience metamorphosis, a process of biological development in animals that involves changes in physical appearance or structure after birth or hatching.
Butterflies usually suck nectar or flower honey but there are some types that like to the liquid in the suction like from rotten fruit that has fallen to the ground, carcasses, bird droppings and wet soil, while at the time of being a caterpillar, caterpillars only eat leaves .
The life cycle or metamorphosis of butterflies starts from the egg. Butterfly eggs are usually on the leaf surface. Eggs then hatch into caterpillars. The caterpillar will eat for days, after a while the caterpillar will stop eating, and begin to turn into a cocoon. This cocoon period lasts for days. When it is perfect, butterflies emerge from the cocoon and after that become beautiful and beautiful adult butterflies. adult butterflies will breed again by laying (ovipar). Then from the eggs it will undergo the process of metamorphosis again.

Here is an extended time of life or metamorphosis of butterflies:

Eggs stick to leaves 2-7 days
Caterpillars (larvae) aged 14-20 days by changing the skin as much as 4-5 times
Cocoon / pupa (chrysalis) 14-16 days, and when the newly hatched butterfly takes 1 to 2 hours to dry the wings before flying for the first time.
Adult butterflies (imago) aged 14-24 days, about 7% of live imago used for copulation / marriage.
