Butterfly Life Cycle

How long does it take to hatch an egg depends on the butterfly and the climate. It's less than a week for almost three. Most of what I know about butterflies and caterpillars, I learned my golf Fritillaria. I started breeding butterflies, and I noticed a butterfly behaves strangely, while my husband Chuck and I were there for a walk. The butterflies flutter around the vineyard, land on a sheet, put your body so that her belly button the sheet, and return quickly. When I visited the page, I found the little yellow egg put it there! I brought the egg home and the sheet and looked to see what happened. I surfed on the Internet (I like to call the window) to find more information on butterflies. Then came first, the butterfly or the egg? For the purposes of this article, we begin with the egg.
EGGThe butterflies lay their eggs on plants that caterpillars eat when they hatch (host plants). Some butterflies lay their eggs in a particular investment only, while others are based on more than one type of plant. Although there are several plants are generally of the same family. Some butterflies lay their eggs in groups or on top of another. Some butterflies lay their eggs only a leaf or a plant. The eggs of butterflies are fascinating. I have a jeweler's lens (a small increase in glass jewelry are used to examine precious stones) more accurately on the eggs I found. The Gulf Fritillary egg looks like a baby corn or perhaps a barrel cactus (without bones).
CATERPILLARWhen the larva hatches, the first thing to start eating. And sometimes not even to eat the egg shell! First, it is so small that it can eat only a thin layer of the disk. The sheet is transparent or lace. Growing up, but it can bite through a piece without any problems. I think you're eating corn on the cob. When he eats and eats, it grows. This would overcome the skin several times during this phase. Continue to eat the whole cycle, except when changing the skin and the last day or two before the changes to a pupa. When it's time to change the skins, which stops and starts to contract. The skin splits and the head of the caterpillar stretches way out. The Gulf Fritillary caterpillar is orange with black stripes and spines, but only after its old skin scales, spines are yellow, until the new skin is ready. Then he turns around and eats its old skin. The Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar change looks the same after each of their bands, but some caterpillars look to suit quiet. When the caterpillar ready to move again, and it's a doll, she stops eating and begins to wander, to join the search for a place. Wraps around, above and below the leaves and surrounding structures, natural and artificial. The vines of my "pillars and branches, even if you feel the need. Hiking up, down and around a day or two, until you decide it's time. I Walk the ranch columns and end up in strange places. Twice "Pillars are the basis of our base office chair and rust attacked if you are connected to the sewer system near a sink. If one of the pillars of the" restless and began roaming I told my husband: "We have a runner!" When you decide where you turn into a chrysalis, combine to build a little rest and then start producing silk. He moves his head back on the point on a small pillow. Spinning of silk and on both sides (and if it is on a branch) to secure the pads. If the plate is complete, re-attach the platform to rest after the car. He has a special structure at the end of the body specially designed for this purpose. Then, slowly, letting go the leaf or branch and the wind gives a unique form of "J". Not all column "ready to be a puppet in this direction.
ChrysalisSince the crash, began to turn white, almost like bubbles. This separates the skin from the visitors in the pupa. The doll's head through the skin and its set of points in the movement of your body in motion and waves, the loose skin at the point where they can move together. Turned loose skin. At this point, trying to wax until surface is dry. After drying, it looks like a dead leaf hanging from a branch of a tree. Fritillaria are my golf in the pupal stage, an average of eight days. If they were in nature, would be completely vulnerable to any predator that has no defense. Contraction and may change their position. One day, a left, and the next day, showing the right side. If you are ready to become a butterfly, the chrysalis becomes dark, almost transparent.
BUTTERFLIESIf the butterfly is ready to be out of its cocoon, it will break the head, face down and crawl into an empty doll hanging out, so that the wings are at their lowest point. At this point the antennas back against his body and its wings are wrinkled. Since it hangs there, the wings begin to unfold and recover. The butterfly, which can be inflated until the wings are smooth and uniform. Expects its wings to dry and process prior to departure. The antennas have been restated and stick straight out of my head. They have too much body fluid that is released before it flies away. It was shocking the first time it happened, I thought my tie was injured until investigation. On another occasion, when a butterfly is born, I thought his tongue (proboscis) was strange. It seemed that there were two languages. I had a change! Later I read that the language of butterflies has worked in both halves of the tube that you drink in the form of nectar. We had a real change. One of our butterflies born with only three wings. One of its rear wings missing. Unfortunately he was unable to fly. The sequence of photos of the outbreak at this point we have only the vine and honeysuckle in the garden. As we grow sunflowers and zinnias, we had to fly around the Gulf fritillary and other butterflies. The adult butterfly lives only about four weeks. Found at that time, food, and a partner. He must find the woman of the vine to lay their eggs. I noticed that our lives mature passion, the home of at least three different types of ants seems to be, and I think that's why the Gulf Fritillary females lay their eggs in small pumping stations which appear around the mature plants. Since they can put one or two eggs per plant, small caterpillars have a good race moved snack plants, and large as they grow larger plants. And so begins a new cycle. Eggs of butterflies in the butterfly plant. Some of these books describe the phenomenon of metamorphosis of the butterfly from egg to butterfly. Included are books on the terrace of errors and a butterfly garden, so you can see the first change.
