- Monarch butterflies go through four stages during one life cycle, and through four generations in one year. Its a little confusing but keep reading and you will understand. The four stages of the monarch butterfly life cycle are the egg, the larvae (caterpillar), the pupa (chrysalis), and the adult butterfly. The four generations are actually four different butterflies going through these four stages during one year until it is time to start over again with stage one and generation one. In February and March, the final generation of hibernating monarch butterflies comes out of hibernation to find a mate.

Life Cycle The Life Cycle of a Monarch Butterfly. Before a butterfly can flap its wings, it starts out as something completely different and transforms itself through four stages. First as an egg, then as a caterpillar, next as a pupa in its chrysalis, and finally, it emerges as a butterfly. This entire process takes about four weeks from start to finish; although the warmer it is, the shorter the cycle. Egg. A butterfly begins as an egg, laid on the underside of a milkweed leaf.

- What Types of Flowers Do Monarch Butterflies Eat? Adult monarchs don't eat flowers but drink liquid nectar, a sugary substance made by flowers. The monarch butterfly--like other butterflies--is built to drink liquids. Its mouth, called a proboscis, is a straw-like pipe, which is kept coiled until the butterfly is ready to eat. The proboscis allows monarch butterflies to reach liquid nectar kept deep in a flower's center.

Caterpillar A Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) caterpillar feeding on a leaf of the Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) in a private garden in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Caterpillar is the common name for the larvae of members of the order Lepidoptera (the insect order comprising butterflies and moths).As with most common names, the application of the word is arbitrary and the larvae of sawflies commonly are called caterpillars as well.aterpillars as a rule are voracious feeders and many of them are among the most serious of agricultural pests. In fact many moth species are best known in their caterpillar stages because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce, whereas the moths are obscure and do no direct harm.
