You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 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. Write at least 150 words.

The diagram shows the different growing stages of the Monarch butterfly.

Overall

, there are four main stages, including egg, larval, pupal and adult

stage

. We can see that there is no limit to how many times these insects can reproduce and repeat the life cycle.

Firstly

, Monarch butterflies find their partners in the northern side of the earth and reproduce for the next generation. After mating, the female one lays eggs on a special kind of weed, namely milkweed. The egg

stage

takes a 14-day period;

then

, a caterpillar,

also

called larval, is hatched from the larva and spends some time in its birthplace.

At the end

of the larval

stage

, the larva hangs itself upside down on a tree and covers itself with chrysalis. After ten days, an adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis and approaches into the pupal

stage

. Adult butterflies will migrate to the south for 6 months before they have a migration back to the north for reproduction again. After all, the life cycle is going to

be repeated
