The illustration displays the Monarch butterfly’s life cycle process.
Overall, this cycle consists of four stages: egg stage (14 days), larval stage (10 days), pupal stage (6 months), and adult stage. The whole process takes 204 days.
Getting back to the details, at the beginning, eggs are laid by a female monarch on a milkweed leaf, which turns into a grub after a fortnight. Moreover, after turning into the inchworm form, it starts to attach to a branch of the same plant, so that it will cover itself with a chrysalis.
Furthermore, ten days later, grown adult butterflies emerge from a chrysalis, then move to the south. As a result, full-grown specimens migrate to the north, during this phase, fertilization takes place, ending the cycle.
