Butterflies and Moths pass through three very distinct
stages before they attain the perfect form, viz.:-1. The
Egg (ovum, plural ova). 2. The Caterpillar (larva, plural
larvæ). 3. The Chrysalis (pupa, plural pup). The perfect
insect is called the Imago, plural Imagines. Butterflies are
distinguished from Moths by having the antennae clubbed
at the end, and by the great majority carrying the wings
upright when in a state of repose, and being destitute of
any apparatus to connect the wings during flight.
