Basic Theory At the living things, the development divided into two parts, development of prebirth (prenatal) and development of after birth (post natal). Development of pre-birth is development of organisms that occurred before birth or hatch. While development after birth is development of organisms after birth process or hatch (Tim Pengajar, 2012). Development is the changes progressive process that occurred in the cell, tissue, organ, or organism in their lifes. In other words, development is transformation process from a condition, arrangement or condition function, arrangement or the other function that progressively and permanent, such as development of of frog egg be an adult frog, seed germination, and regeneration of body part that be amputated at salamander or larva development be a butterfly (Adnan, 2008). Firstly, butterfly will be spawn. That egg will hatch be a larva (caterpillar), a caterpillar will change be the long shape. And then it caterpillar will attach at the tree and leaves so that be a pupa. After long time, from pupa will out a young butterfly. Then will be an adult butterfly (Anonymous, 2013). According to Campbell (2002), metamorphosis consists of several stages: 1) Larva (caterpillar), spend it time for eat and grow, do molting process or change of skin. 2) After often change its skin, larve to wrap itself in the pupa and be the pupa. 3) In the pupa, larva tissue parsed, and adult animal grow through the cleavage and differentiation of cells that not active in larva stage previously. B. Purpose The purpose of experiment is to observe and to know each step of metamorphosis. C. Work Procedure 1. Built an wire cage with door 2. Took the caterpillar from tree with the stalk of the leaf and place it in the aqua glass that filled with water 3. Observe the metamorphosis stage of the caterpillar for everyday. Recorded the observation result D. Observation Result

E. Discussion Butterflies have complete metamorphosis.There are four stages in the metamorphosis of butterflies and moths: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. 1. Eeg : Eggs are laid on plants by the adult female butterfly. These plants will then become the food for the hatching caterpillars. Eggs can be laid from spring, summer or fall. This depends on the species of butterfly. Females lay a lot of eggs at once so that at least some of them survive. Butterfly eggs can be very small. 2. Caterpillar (Feeding stage) : The next stage is the larva. This is also called a caterpillar if the insect is a butterfly or a moth. The job of the caterpillar is to eat and eat and eat. As the caterpillar grows it splits its skin and sheds it about 4 or 5 times. Food eaten at this time is stored and used later as an adult. Caterpillars can grow 100 times their size during this stage. For example, a monarch butterfly egg is the size of a pinhead and the caterpillar that hatches from this tiny egg isn't much bigger. But it will grow up to 2 inches long in several weeks. 3. Pupa (The Transition Stage) : When the caterpillar is full grown and stops eating, it becomes a pupa. The pupa of butterflies is also called a chrysalis. Depending on the species, the pupa may suspended under a branch, hidden in leaves or buried underground. The pupa of many moths is protected inside a coccoon of silk. This stage can last from a few weeks, a month or even longer. Some species have a pupal stage that lasts for two years. It may look like nothing is going on but big changes are happening inside. Special cells that were present in the larva are now growing rapidly. They will become the legs, wings, eyes and other parts of the adult butterfly. Many of the original larva cells will provide energy for these growing adult cells. 4. Adult (The Reproductive Stage) : The adult stage is what most people think of when they think of butterflies. They look very different from the larva. The caterpillar has a few tiny eyes, stubby legs and very short antennae. The adults have long legs, long antennae, and compound eyes. They can also fly by using their large and colorful wings. The one thing they can't do is grow. The caterpillar's job was to eat. The adult's job is to mate and lay eggs. Some species of adult butterflies get energy by feeding on nectar from flowers but many species don't feed at all. Flying comes in handy. The adult female can easily fly from place to place to find the right plant for its eggs. This is important because caterpillars can't travel far. Most adult butterflies live only one or two weeks, but some species hibernate during the winter and may live several months. F. Conclusion In this obsevation, we can not success to do this observation, because the larva is dead, so can not development. We just take the literature from the internet. Based on it, There are four stages in the metamorphosis of butterflies and moths: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. G. Suggestion 1. Apprentice must be discipline. 2. Apprentice must be careful and accurate in observation of the characteristic organism in each metamorpsosis step.
