Summary of From Caterpillar to Butterfly | #aumsum #kids #science #education #whatif

The video explains the life cycle of a Butterfly, highlighting the process of Metamorphosis. Key scientific concepts and stages include:

Egg Stage: A Butterfly lays eggs on plant leaves.
Larva (Caterpillar) Stage: Eggs hatch into larvae called caterpillars, which first eat their eggshell and then feed on leaves to grow.
Shedding Skin: The Caterpillar sheds its skin multiple times to accommodate growth.
Pupa (Chrysalis) Stage: When fully grown, the Caterpillar stops eating and forms a protective Chrysalis, becoming a Pupa.
Metamorphosis: Inside the Chrysalis, the Pupa undergoes significant transformation over approximately 15 days.
Adult Butterfly Emergence: The adult Butterfly emerges with small, wet wings.
Wing Expansion: The Butterfly pumps fluids into its wings to strengthen and expand them.
Flight: After a few hours, the wings are strong enough for the Butterfly to fly.

This entire transformation process from Caterpillar to Butterfly is known as Metamorphosis.
