## 🦋 Butterfly Metamorphosis

Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis with four distinct stages: egg, caterpillar (larva), chrysalis (pupa), and adult butterfly.

The process begins when a female butterfly lays eggs on a host plant. When the eggs hatch, tiny caterpillars emerge and begin feeding on leaves. Eventually, the caterpillar forms a chrysalis, inside which its body completely transforms. After 10-14 days, an adult butterfly emerges.
