From nearly invisible eggs, tiny striped caterpillars emerge.

They begin feeding on the surrounding milkweed leaves immediately, storing food for the transition to come.

After two weeks, they form a chrysalis, from which a monarch butterfly emerges after another two weeks.

Thanks to its bright orange and black colouring, the monarch is one of the best-known butterfly species.

Its amazing transition is shown in this four-part life cycle.

The adult monarch butterfly measures 8cm from wingtip to wingtip.
