Butterfly Life
Duratión life of the butterfly life
The lifespan of butterflies is highly variable. It can last from several weeks to a few days, depending on the species. A clear example of this is the case of “Bombyx of mulberry (Bombyx mori), who lives so quickly that you get to feed as an adult. In contrast, other species live much longer, particularly those that hibernate as adults. But whatever their length of life, these insects must pass through four successive stages, two of which are active and two are passive.
The development of butterflies
The first stage is an egg stage, which lasts between 3 and 8 days. Liability is a period during which caterpillars are formed. Females lay hundreds of eggs in spring or summer.
The second phase, which is the caterpillar, is active and the longest cycle (if no hibernation). This period is where you can see the most noticeable change in size, from an egg that occupies about 1 mm, a track that easily reaches 4 cm. To achieve this exceptional growth, the caterpillar must consume large quantities of food. This growth forced to make several changes. His latest role is to find a safe place for ninfosis phase.
Butterflies

Mariposa is a common term in zoology, common name that refers to individuals of the insect order of Lepidoptera. The characteristics of the butterflies in their adult stage are three pairs of legs (like all insects) and two pairs of wings covered with colored scales varied between species. The butterflies lay eggs that give rise to larvae called caterpillars. The latter produce silk, and are then a cocoon, or chrysalis, which is transformed into a butterfly.
For the younger guests we have prepared butterfly coloring pages for older and have nice photos and images varied. You see, we have a little something for everyone. We hope you enjoy in our section of butterflies.
