\nIn our design inspiration<\/strong><\/em> rubric today we let you know about a butterfly life cycle and how it inspires BRABBU\u2019s design team. Butterflies have a complete metamorphosis to grow into a beautiful adult whereas BRABBU\u2019s design pieces go through a detailed and careful production process until they are finished and integrated in an ambiance.<\/p>\n

RELATED HISTORY:\u00a0BRABBU DESIGN INSPIRATION \u2013 THE UNUSUAL FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN A WOLF AND A BEAR<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a butterfly\u2019s life cycle every stage plays an essential role in its growth. The same happens in the production process of a piece, where every little detail makes difference to get to the final result.<\/p>\n

To grow into an adult butterflies go through 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Each stage has a different goal \u2013 for instance, caterpillars need to eat a lot, and adults need to reproduce. Depending on the type of butterfly, the life cycle of a butterfly may take anywhere from one month to a whole year.<\/p>\n

The First Stage: The Egg<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BRABBU<\/p>\n

A butterfly starts life as a very small, round, oval or cylindrical egg.\u00a0 The coolest thing about butterfly eggs, especially monarch butterfly eggs, is that if you look close enough you can actually see the tiny caterpillar growing inside of it.<\/p>\n

The Second Stage: The Larva (Caterpillar)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BRABBU<\/p>\n

When the egg finally hatches, most of you would expect for a butterfly to emerge, right?\u00a0 Well, not exactly.\u00a0 In the butterfly\u2019s life cycle, there are four stages and this is only the second stage.\u00a0 Butterfly larvae are actually what we call caterpillars. Caterpillars do not stay in this stage for very long and mostly, in this stage all they do is eat.<\/p>\n

When the egg hatches, the caterpillar will start his work and eat the leaf they were born onto. This is really important because the mother butterfly needs to lay her eggs on the type of leaf the caterpillar will eat.<\/p>\n

The Third Stage: Pupa (Chrysalis)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BRABBU<\/p>\n

The pupa stage is one of the coolest stages of a butterfly\u2019s life.\u00a0 As soon as a caterpillar is done growing and they have reached their full length\/weight, they form themselves into a pupa, also known as a chrysalis.\u00a0 From the outside of the pupa, it looks as if the caterpillar may just be resting, but the inside is where all of the action is. (https:\/\/tokyosmyrna.com<\/a>) \u00a0 Inside of the pupa, the caterpillar is rapidly changing.<\/p>\n

Now, as most people know, caterpillars are short, stubby and have no wings at all.\u00a0 Within the chrysalis the old body parts of the caterpillar are undergoing a remarkable transformation, called \u2018metamorphosis,\u2019 to become the beautiful parts that make up the butterfly that will emerge.<\/p>\n

The Fourth Stage: Adult Butterfly<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BRABBU<\/p>\n

Finally, when the caterpillar has done all of its forming and changing inside the pupa, if you are lucky, you will get to see an adult butterfly emerge.\u00a0 When the butterfly first emerges from the chrysalis, both of the wings are going to be soft and folded against its body. This is because the butterfly had to fit all its new parts inside of the pupa.<\/p>\n

As soon as the butterfly has rested after coming out of the chrysalis, it will pump blood into the wings in order to get them working and flapping \u2013 then they get to fly.\u00a0 Usually within a three or four-hour period, the butterfly will master flying and will search for a mate in order to reproduce.<\/p>\n

When in the fourth and final stage of their lives, adult butterflies are constantly on the look out to reproduce and when a female lays their eggs on some leaves, the butterfly life cycle will start all over.<\/p>\n
