When describing the biology of an organism, a predator is something that feeds or preys upon that organism. In their natural habitats, butterflies have a very long list of of predators. Prepupa Is the stage directly following the larva and just before the pupa stage. As a larva finishes eating and growing, it begins the prepupa stage by looking for a place to hang itself and become a pupa. This is an organism which is found near the very bottom of the food pyramid which cosumes plant material.
Butterflies are primary consumers.
This is the feeding structure of the adult butterfly found in the head between the eyes. It is somewhat like a straw, used for ingesting the liquids which the adults feed on. In addition to the six true legs that the larvae have, they also have a number of pairs of prolegs or psuedolegs found on the abdomen. Pupa This is the stage immediately following the prepupa stage and before the adult. It is the stage in which the butterfly is transforming its body parts into those which it will need as an adult.
