The diagram below shows the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The picture illustrates the formation of the Monarch butterfly.
There are 4 main stages in the life cycle, starting from the egg
stage
to the adult stage
.
The first step is
to lay eggs on milkweed and during the next 14 days, a larva is hatched and the larval stage
begins. Once the larva has grown into a caterpillar, the feeding process is started. It eats leaves in the milkweed as food. After receiving enough food, an attachment is formed getting a tree branch as a support. This
formation is kept for about 10 days and a chrysalis is created.
In order to begin
the pupal stage
, chrysalis comes out from the cover as an adult. Following that, this
butterfly migrates to the South taking about 6 months. The final stage
of the cycle is the adult stage
. For the purpose of finding a mate, this
butterfly moves towards the North. Upon finding a suitable fellow, mating is done and eggs are laid on leaves.Submitted by wm.asanka.sandaruwan on
