Life Cycle of Prola beauty
Egg The egg stage for prola beauty begins with the female laying eggs on host plants. These eggs are small and may vary in color, typically matching the surroundings to avoid predation.
Larva Upon hatching, prola beauty's larva, commonly known as a caterpillar, emerges. It has a tubular body with multiple segments and prolegs, primarily focused on feeding and growth, and exhibiting several molts.
Pupal Prola beauty enters the pupal stage encased in a chrysalis, ceasing to feed and move. Transformation occurs internally, reorganizing the larval body into an adult. The color of the chrysalis generally blends with the environment.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult prola beauty displays wings patterned with vivid colors for mate attraction and deterrence of predators. At this final stage, prola beauty is now capable of flight, feeding on nectar, and reproduction.

How and Where Can You Find Prola beauty at Different Life Stages
Egg Eggs are typically laid on the underside of host plant leaves, so inspect these areas carefully by gently turning leaves over to observe them.
Larva Prola beauty larvae (caterpillars) are frequently found on or near their host plants. Look for chewed leaves and caterpillar droppings as signs of their presence, and carefully check the foliage and stems.
Pupal Pupae (chrysalises) can often be found in sheltered locations near the larval food source. Look for them attached to stems, leaves, or even building eaves where they remain stationary and camouflaged.
Adult Prola beauty adults can be found in areas rich in nectar sources. Look for flowers that are in bloom, as these are likely places for prola beauty to feed and mate. Walking slowly through the habitat and watching for flying or resting butterflies on or near flowers is advised.
