Safariology® Life Cycle: Monarch Butterfly

Observe one of nature's most extraordinary transformations—complete metamorphosis—right before your eyes. This educational set captures the spectacular four stages of a Monarch butterfly's life cycle, a true icon of the insect world. 

The Four Stages of Development:

• Eggs on a Milkweed Leaf: The tiny beginning, with a cluster of eggs carefully laid upon the essential milkweed host plant.

• Larva (Caterpillar): The feeding stage, a vividly striped yellow, black, and white caterpillar voraciously consuming milkweed leaves to grow.

• Pupa (Chrysalis): The "resting" stage where the magical transformation occurs inside a striking green chrysalis with gold accents, suspended upside down.

• Adult Monarch Butterfly: The stunning winged insect emerging from its chrysalis, ready to fly and begin the cycle anew. 

Key Features:

• Educational Tool: An excellent hands-on model for teaching entomology, perfect for explaining the concepts of metamorphosis in classroom settings or at home.

• Scientifically Accurate: Each figure is meticulously sculpted and hand-painted to reflect the actual size, texture, and vibrant coloration of each life stage.

• Safety First: Constructed from durable, high-quality, BPA-free, and non-toxic plastic, ensuring a safe learning experience for ages 4 and up.

• Product Dimensions: The figures vary in size, with the adult butterfly's wingspan measuring approximately 3.5 inches across. 

Ideal For: Science fairs, nature tables, insect study units, and young naturalists captivated by butterflies and insects.
