Answer:
In a year the butterflies go through four life cycles.
Discussion:
Monarch butterflies go through four stages during one life cycle, and through four generations in one year. The four stages of the Monarch butterfly life cycle are the egg, the larvae (caterpillar), the pupa (chrysalis), and the adult butterfly. The four generations are actually four different butterflies going through these four stages during one year until it is time to start over again with stage one and generation one.
