Explore the fascinating life cycle of the monarch butterfly, starting from a tiny yellow egg laid on milkweed. Within 3-5 days, the egg hatches into a caterpillar, which begins by consuming its own egg. As it grows, the caterpillar continues to feast for about three weeks until it's ready to make its cocoon. After staying in the cocoon for another three weeks, the stunning adult monarch emerges. Discover the transformation and decide which stage of this incredible life cycle you find most captivating!
