Describe the reproduction of a butterfly.how does it differ from a cockroach?

Answer 1

I don't know what exactly do you mean by "reproduction" as it's very wide term, and a subject to differ in almost every species of insects. So I focused on metamorphosis as it's something you can easily find as being different in butterflies and cockroaches.

"The two types of metamorphosis typical of insects are incomplete metamorphosis (egg --> nymph --> adult) and complete metamorphosis(egg --> larva --> pupa --> adult)."

Butterflies have the complete metamorphosis while cockroaches have the other.

"With incomplete metamorphosis, the nymphal stages look like the adult except that they don't have wings, and the nymphs may be colored differently than the adults. Nymphs and adults usually live in the same kind of habitats. Incomplete metamorphosis is typical of true bugs and grasshoppers;

complete metamorphosis is typical of beetles, flies, moths, and wasps. The young insects that go through complete metamorphosis do not look at all like the adults, they often live in different habitats, and feed on different things. Some moth and wasp larvae weave a silken shell (cocoon) to protect the pupa. In flies, the last larval skin becomes a puparium, a kind of hard shell, that protects the pupa."
