This clear resin specimen captures the four stages of complete metamorphosis in one easy-to-view learning resource, helping children understand how a butterfly grows and changes throughout its life. What Can You Discover? The round block displays the complete butterfly life cycle: Eggs – the butterfly life cycle begins when tiny eggs are laid on a leaf. Caterpillar / Larva – after hatching, the caterpillar eats and grows rapidly, preparing for its next stage. Chrysalis / Pupa – the caterpillar forms a chrysalis, where an incredible transformation takes place. Adult Butterfly – the fully developed butterfly emerges, ready to fly, feed and eventually begin the life cycle again. Directional arrows help children easily follow the stages in sequence, making the process of metamorphosis simple to understand.
