Once the eggs hatch, the larvae comes out. The butterfly larvae is called the caterpillar stage. The larvae consume leaves as their food and spend most of their life, feeding on leaves. The caterpillars mature through a series of stages called instars. The caterpillars have 3 pairs of true legs. From the larval stage of development, the caterpillar proceeds to become a pupa. This happens when the larvae is fully grown and hormones are produced to make it get into a very dormant stage. During this stage there is no feeding and the pupa rests generally under a leaf for a few days, waiting to undergo ‘metamorphosis’ or change, where it turns into a beautiful butterfly.
