he butterfly's metamorphosis is considered perfect because its physical form when it emerges from the egg, is very different from its physical form as an adult. The life cycle of a butterfly begins with eggs which are usually on the leaf surface. From the egg then hatch turns into a caterpillar. The caterpillar then turns into a cocoon.
The pupal period will last a few days before becoming a small butterfly and an adult butterfly.
A butterfly has only a few weeks to live, during which time it will focus its energy on two things: eating and mating.
