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.
