Origins of Renaissance Art. The origins of Renaissance art can be traced to Italy in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. During this so-called âproto-Renaissanceâ period (1280-1400), Italian scholars and artists saw themselves as reawakening to the ideals and achievements of classical Roman culture.
Adult butterflies also use color to their advantageânot only to blend in but also to warn. For instance, the adult monarch sports a bright orange color and distinctive pattern, a red flag to potential predators that it's distasteful and toxic. Another species called the viceroy has even evolved to mimic the monarch's appearance so that predators keep their distance, according to Prudic.
The Monarch butterflies go through prolonged stages of metamorphoses, starting with its larva or caterpillar, shedding or molting its skin an amazing five times before the pupa stage You can see a diagram of the monarch life cycle that you can color in here.
