B. Costa Rica has a very effective public transportation system 1. Butterflies can easily be associated with Costa Rica. The work begins by planting the different varieties of nectar and larval plants. The eggs are then collected and sorted. After a few days, the caterpillars hatch and placed on their species specific plant.
Caterpillars have strong mandibles for chewing their food, a characteristic adult butterflies lack.
Caterpillars can also produce silk, which is used for escape, security, and to attatch themselves to leaves during the paupa stage. Larvae will molt as many as 4 times before entering the pupa stage. Caterpillars grow at an enormous rate during this stage of their lives. When the insects enter the pupa stage, they are gathered for shipment. During the pupa stage the insect is most vulnerable.
