Life Cycle Set – Butterfly

A female butterfly lays from 100 to 300 eggs during her life. The eggs hatch about four days after they are laid.  When larvae first hatch they are less than 1 cm & grow to be about 5 cm. The stages between larval molts are called instars.  In as few as five days, the monarch develops from a pupa to an adult. The completion of the four life-stage process is called complete metamorphosis.  The emergence of the butterfly from the pupal stage to an adult is called eclosion.

The set comes with wooden 3 Part Cards, & is presented in a beautiful wooden box with a picture of the corresponding theme printed on the lid.
