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.
Firstly we know that the basic timing of a Monarchâs life cycle is: 4-10 days â eggs. 9-20 days â caterpillar. 10-28 days â pupa. So from the egg to adult stage(s) can take as little as 23 days (4+9+10), and this would be in the optimum conditions, i.e. a full 23 days of hot summer sun.
