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.
