How do ringlet butterflies reproduce?

Ringlet butterflies reproduce through a mating process where males use pheromones to attract females. After mating, the female lays eggs on host plants that provide food for the larvae once they hatch. The eggs are typically laid in clusters or individually, depending on the species. After a few days to weeks, the eggs hatch into caterpillars, which then grow and undergo metamorphosis into adult butterflies.
