Recognize that an animal grows through stages.
A butterfly's pupa and larva are different stages; do not skip a stage when ordering the cycle.
Draw arrows between stages and explain why a cycle does not have a single permanent ending.
What is the correct chronological order of the stages in a butterfly's complete metamorphosis?
Answer: B. Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis: the female lays an egg, which hatches into a larva (caterpillar). The larva forms a chrysalis (pupa) and emerges as a winged adult butterfly.
