Butterflies undergo one of nature's most dramatic transformations, metamorphosing from caterpillar to chrysalis to winged adult—a process called complete metamorphosis. With over 17,000 butterfly species worldwide, they're found on every continent except Antarctica and serve as vital pollinators for countless flowering plants. Their delicate wings are covered in thousands of tiny scales that refract light, creating the iridescent colors we admire.
