Butterflies undergo one of nature's most dramatic transformations: metamorphosis. Starting as tiny eggs, they hatch into caterpillars, spin cocoons, and emerge as winged adults with an entirely different form and purpose. Their wings display an astonishing spectrum of colors and patterns—some for camouflage, others for mating displays—and their lifespan varies wildly by species, from weeks to nearly a year.
