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.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or cycle:
“The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
