As our scientific understanding of. these relationships deepen, our understanding of what consciousness is will also deepen. A. similar transmutation of meaning (with growth of knowledge) occurs with basic terms in. physics such as energy, and time..
Summary. Butterflies go through a life cycle. There are four stages. The first stage is the eggs. This is where a girl butterfly lays eggs. She lays them on a leaf. The second stage is the caterpillar. This is where the eggs hatch. It takes about five days for the eggs to hatch. A caterpillar then comes out.
The total time that the butterfly stays in the caterpillar stage is about 2-5 weeks and varies based on the species and the growing conditions. It is believed that the caterpillar stage is the most dangerous in the life cycle of a butterfly as the mortality rates are very high. Caterpillars are subject to weather conditions, disease, parasites and predators. Many adult butterfly species lay hundreds of eggs with only a few surviving to become adults.
