Butterflies undergo one of nature's most remarkable transformations, starting as tiny eggs that hatch into caterpillars before entering a chrysalis. Within this protective cocoon, the caterpillar dissolves and reorganizes into a winged adult—a metamorphosis so complete that scientists are still unraveling its mysteries. Adult butterflies taste with their feet and drink nectar through a long, coiled proboscis, making them vital pollinators in gardens and wild meadows worldwide.
