The third stage in the lepidopteran life cycle. Although seemingly quiet as seen externally, the pupa is busily destroying most of its larval cells and replacing them by reproduction of relatively few cells that had no function in the larva. Thus, a nearly complete reconfiguration of the animal occurs beneath the pupal cuticle, to make the adult body.

Insects go through a number of different life stages. At the end of the final larval stage, the once softbodied larva develops a hard outer shell and becomes a pupa. Inside the insect begins reforming itself from the breakdown and rearrangement of larval tissue. It is growing eyes, wings, and legs. When it emerges from the pupa, it will be an adult insect.
