Cover Page Cover page.	Egg Tiny butterfly eggs are usually laid on the underside of a leaf.	Caterpillar A tiny larva, called a caterpillar, hatches from the egg. It eats leaves and molts (sheds its skin) many times as it grows.
Pupa When it has grown enough, the caterpillar turns into a pupa (also called a chrysalis).	Adult A fully-grown adult emerges from the pupa. It will soon mate and then the female will lay eggs on a leaf.
