The task is to arrange the life cycle of a butterfly in the correct order. The image provides five stages of the butterfly's life cycle, and we need to match them with the corresponding numbers (1 through 5) in the diagram.
Life Cycle of a Butterfly
The life cycle of a butterfly typically follows these stages:
1.
Eggs: The cycle begins when the female butterfly lays eggs on a leaf.
2.
Caterpillar: After hatching from the eggs, the larvae are called caterpillars. They spend most of their time eating and growing.
3.
Pupa (Chrysalis): Once the caterpillar has grown enough, it forms a chrysalis or pupa, where it undergoes metamorphosis.
4.
Emerging From Chrysalis: Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. When ready, the butterfly emerges.
5.
Butterfly: The adult butterfly emerges, dries its wings, and flies away to start the cycle again by laying eggs.
Matching the Stages
Now, let’s match the stages with the numbers in the diagram:
-
Stage 1:
Eggs
- This is the starting point of the life cycle. The eggs are laid on a leaf.
- Place "Eggs" in box
1.
-
Stage 2:
Caterpillar
- After the eggs hatch, the caterpillar emerges and starts eating.
- Place "Caterpillar" in box
2.
-
Stage 3:
Pupa (Chrysalis)
- The caterpillar eventually forms a chrysalis, where it undergoes transformation.
- Place "Pupa" in box
3.
-
Stage 4:
Emerging From Chrysalis
- The butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
- Place "Emerging From Chrysalis" in box
4.
-
Stage 5:
Butterfly
- The adult butterfly is the final stage, which lays eggs to start the cycle again.
- Place "Butterfly" in box
5.
Final Answer
The correct arrangement is:
- Box
1: Eggs
- Box
2: Caterpillar
- Box
3: Pupa
- Box
4: Emerging From Chrysalis
- Box
5: Butterfly

Final Answer Boxed
\[
\boxed{1: \text{Eggs}, 2: \text{Caterpillar}, 3: \text{Pupa}, 4: \text{Emerging From Chrysalis}, 5: \text{Butterfly}}
