Morphological Adaptations of a Painted Lady Butterfly By Bailey Bowers, Dan Krajewski, and Michael Ang

What is a Morphological Adaptation?  Morphology is the study of the form or structure of a living thing.  Here are some examples of morphological adaptations for a Painted Lady Butterfly  Butterfly Wings  A caterpillar is worm-like

 Butterflies can lay eggs  The legs on a caterpillar go away  Caterpillars shed their skin

The Egg Stage

 Hard-ridged outer layer of shell  Its called a chorion

 They are lined with a thin coating of wax  Prevents eggs from drying out  Micropyles holes that let sperm in

The Larva Stage  Tentacles: a pair of thin movable organs on the caterpillar used for touching/feeling.  Thoracic Legs: Used for holding food, jointed legs with hooks  Spiracles: Holes in the caterpillars side that it breathes through  Prolegs: Stumpy Legs  Disadvantage: Very Big Eater, stays near plant where it was hatched, limited movement

The Pupa Stage

 Cremaster: Used to attach end of butterfly ‘s pupa to a twig or other structure. Series of small hooks or a just a single larger hook, hooks to a silk pad  Chrysalis: Protective shell that caterpillar goes into for its transformation into a butterfly.  Disadvantage: cannot move very vulnerable.

Adult Butterflies  Four wings covered with tiny scales  Fore wing and hind wing not hooked together for more graceful flight  Six legs, Jointed legs help it walk  Feet can stick to surfaces allowing to climb walls and stick on ceilings  Eat nectar through proboscis  Proboscis is hollow tube that can roll into the head  Compound eye gives them multiple visual receptors so the can see more things  The butterfly needs to pump blood to its wings to “inflate them” before it can fly so it is vulnerable to predators
