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 chart illustrates the various stages of development of a Monarch butterfly, beginning from its egg to an adult.
Overall
, it takes hardly seven months to reach the adulthood of the arthropod from its egg, which is laid on the milkweed.
To begin
with, an adult female butterfly lays her eggs on a weed. It takes 14 days to hatch the eggs, which are stuck under the leaves of the plant. These newly hatched larvae then
feed on the leaves. When the caterpillar reaches its maturity, it gets attached to the leaf on its under-surface.
The larval stage makes an end and subsequently
, the pupa is formed on its cocoon named chrysalis. After a period of ten days, an adult butterfly emerges out of the wrapper. The arthropod begins its migration to the south following
this
and it spends six months there. Successively, migration back to the north happens for mating and egg laying. The cycle continues again.Submitted by krishnabalu1984 on
