Butterflies go through how many stages of the life cycle.

The correct answer is: 4

The correct answer is d)4.
The life cycle of butterflies has four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult.
The eggs are laid by the female butterflies on leaves. These eggs can be extremely small.
After this is the larval stage. The larva in butterflies and moths are caterpillars. In this stage the caterpillar keeps eating. The larva undergoes metamorphosis.
After the caterpillar is done eating it turns into a pupa. It may be suspended on a branch or hidden under the leaves.
The larva coverts into a fully grown butterfly. This is the last stage in the life cycle of a butterfly. The butterfly looks complete different from the larva.
