It shows the complete metamorphosis life cycle of butterfly. The immature stage, called the larva, looks completely different from the adult. The larvae are called caterpillars. They feed continuously and go through a number of moul ds until the final larval stage is reached. They then stop feeding and search for a suitable place to pupate. In the pupal stage, the reorganization and transformation of the larval tissues into adult structures takes place. The tissues of the immature insect are broken down and small group of cells called imaginal discs, which have been present since the egg first hatched, grow and develop into adult systems. To protect the pupa, the final larval stage spins a cocoon. The adult frees itself from the pupal skin and cocoon by using its jaws, legs. ***

*** Small Cabbage White (Pieris rapae, family Pieridae, order Lepidoptera) are one of the commonest butterflies in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Its caterpillars feed on cabbages and other vegetables. It is slow flying and easy to approach. The wings are white with black markings. Females typically lay single, elongate, ribbed eggs on host plants. The caterpillars have no spines or projections, but the pupae have a distinctive spiny projection that arises from the head end, and are held upright on the host plant by a silk "belt". They are often seen in groups around bird droppings, urine, or puddles in sunshine. They are serious pests of cabbage crops.
