The most interesting thing about history of butterflies is that in India , many of the Indian army had given them names in the same way as the ranks in their army like Commodore , Sailor , Sergeant Emperor,Raja , queen and so on .

Life Cycle of Butterfly :
Butterflies are not born in the same way you see them . Their life is marked by a fascinating cycle that includes four stages : egg , larva ( caterpillar ) , pupa ( chrysalis) and adult butterfly . They start their life as a tiny egg on the leaves of plants . And soon hatch into caterpillars , eat a lot to grow and are often hungry . After that they form a chrysalis , a protective shell and transform into butterfly . This butterfly is then fully grown and ready for flight .
This process is marked as metamorphosis which serves as a powerful metaphor for personal growth, renewal and endless possibilities in life . This beautiful life cycle reminds us that change holds the promise of new beginnings and endless potential .
