Glossary

  • Pupate: the process of forming a pupa, the stage in an insect's development, when huge changes occur that reorganise the larval form into the adult form. In butterflies the pupa is also called a chrysalis.
  • Umbellifers: a plant family characterised by heavily divided leaves and by carrying its flowers in clusters on a number of stalks (known as umbels), which spring from a common centre. Well-known members include carrot and celery.
