About This Lesson
In this lesson plan, children will be able to observe, identify, and describe complete metamorphosis of butterflies. The development followed by most insects is called metamorphosis. There are two types: incomplete and complete. Complete metamorphosis takes place in four stages—egg, larva, pupa, and adult. It is the most complex form of development among insects and is found in insects such as bees, flies, and butterflies.
