Life Cycle
The Kallima Inachus has two generations per year. On in the wet season and one in the dry. In each season the butterfly's underside leafy patern and size seem to changhe (in the wet season the Orange oakleaf has a smaller size and a darker coloration). Like most Lepidopterans, this butterfly starts as an egg, grows into a catterpillar, turns into a chrysaslis, and after some weeks they change into a full grown butterfly.

“The lifelong process of caregiving, is the ultimate link between caregivers of all ages. You and I are not just in a phase we will outgrow. This is life—birth, death, and everything in between.... The care continuum is the cycle of life turning full circle in each of our lives. And what we learn when we spoon-feed our babies will echo in our ears as we feed our parents. The point is not to be done. The point is to be ready to do again.”
—Paula C. Lowe (20th century)
