The life cycle of the butterfly we plan to design closely follows the life cycle of a regular butterfly but it may very from that of a regular butterfly in the gestation period, wing shape, size, and color of the butterfly. The design of the butterfly would require a knowledge of bioengineering and genetics to determine the genes that are needed for the butterfly to be attracted to the Kudzu plant and not another plant.

The butterfly is named the Kudzu Butterfly but the caterpillar is the one that does all the work it was decided the name Kudzu Butterfly is more appropriate and sounds better than Kudzu Caterpillar.
