Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus chrysippus)
Please check this post for Plain Tiger Butterfly Photos

Caterpillars go through 5 stages of growth. Each stage is called an “instar.”

As a caterpillar grows, it “molts” 5 times before it becomes a chrysalis. Each time it molts the caterpillar progresses to the next instar (1st instar, 2nd instar, 3rd instar, 4th instar and 5th instar).
