Detailed explanation-1: -The next stage is the larva. This is also called a caterpillar if the insect is a butterfly or a moth. The job of the caterpillar is to eat and eat and eat. As the caterpillar grows it splits its skin and sheds it about 4 or 5 times.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the egg hatches, a “larva” or “caterpillar” emerges. Caterpillars must grow quickly, so they eat continually. When the caterpillar reaches full size, they form into a “chrysalis” or “pupa.” Inside, they are undergoing a transformation or “metamorphosis.” The parts we recognize as a butterfly are beginning to form.

Detailed explanation-3: -Larva: The immature form (between egg and pupa) of insects with complete metamorphosis. (Stages between molts of the exoskeleton are called instars). Pupa: When insects undergo complete metamorphosis, this is the form in between the last larval instar and the adult.

Detailed explanation-4: -Larvae of the butterfly are also known as caterpillars. The lifecycle of a butterfly: The butterfly undergoes a process called metamorphosis via four developmental stages i.e. egg, larva, pupa, and adult.-Egg: Adult female butterfly lays eggs on the plant which will then become the food for the hatching caterpillars.

Detailed explanation-5: -This caterpillar is known as the larva stage. The. caterpillar crawls out of the egg and immediately begins to start eating. They may first eat the egg that. they hatched from or just starting eating the leaves upon which they hatched from.
