There are quite few animals that do this.\n\n\nThe most extreme example is found amongst the gall midges. Here the eggs hatch while still inside the mother. The young then eat their mother from the inside out while she is still alive, killing her.\n\nThen we come to the bagworm, a type of moth. In this case the young also remain inside the mother after they hatch, but by that stage she’s a cold rotting corpse and doesn’t care. The young then proceed to feed on her carcasse.\n\nMany spider species also devour their own mothers, although at least they wait until they are outside of her first.

The length of these journeys far exceeds the lifetime of a Monarch (lives four days as egg, two weeks as caterpillar, ten days as chrysalis, and two to six weeks as a butterfly). \n\n\nMetamorphosis\nThe life cycle of a Monarch includes a change of form called complete metamorphosis. The Monarch goes through four radically different stages:\n\nThe eggs are laid by the females during spring and summer breeding months. \nThe eggs hatch, revealing worm-like larva, the caterpillars. The caterpillars consume their egg cases, then feed on milkweed, and sequester substances called cardenolides, related to the cardiac glycoside digitalis. During the caterpillar stage, Monarchs store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry them through the non-feeding pupa stage. \nIn the pupa or chrysalis stage, the caterpillar spins a silk pad on a twig, leaf, etc. and hangs from this pad by its last pair of prolegs. It hangs upside down in the shape of a 'J', and then molts, leaving itself encased in an articulated green exoskeleton. At this point, hormonal changes occur, leading to the development of a butterfly. \nThe mature butterfly emerges after about two weeks.

It can die if touched too much.  When touched by humans, the wings tend to lose some scales. If too many scales are lost, the butterfly's ability to fly will be impaired. The scales on the butterfly wings have many properties, mostly optical.  Butterflies are very fragile & best viewed by sight & not by touch.

Paella. No I think they eat sea anemones or other coelenterates and encorporate their nematocysts.

The larvae eat a toxic plant that causes them to be toxic to predators.  They also roost communally.

Moths live in a world of scent, butterflies in a world of sight.\nMoths are often dull to look at but are hugely successful, butterflies are pretty, but vulnerable and sensitive.\nMoths are the hard workers, butterflies are the prima donnas.\nButterflies are definitely glorified moths.\n(They both feed on nectar, and both live anything from a  few days to a year.)

There is a floating food that you can purchase at any pet store but they will ofcourse eat bugs.\n\nThey mainly eat algae and the smaller roots off of plants.
