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:
“I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you’re the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
