Life of a Butterfly

Nina Wilkinson

It All Started From an Egg

The female butterfly attaches the egg to a leaf or stem.

The egg is yellow in color Its no bigger than a quarter

The Caterpillar chews free from the egg.

A baby caterpillar is always hungry.

The caterpillar eats so much that it must shed its skin.

“ It can grow up to 30,000 times larger than it was when

it took first bite”

Quote from: A Butterfly Is Patient by Dienna Hutts Aston and Sylvia Long pg. 2

The caterpillar has stripes and spots

Its body is covered with hair

Once the caterpillar is full grown, he turns into a chrysalis.

The pupa is protected in a silk cocoon.

The chrysalis or pupa cracks open and the butterfly come out into the world.

The wings harden before the butterfly can fly.

Butterflies have three main body parts:HeadThoraxAbdomen

Butterflies help pollinate plants.

“Butterflies uses their wings to protect themselves from predators”.

Quote from: A Butterfly Is Patient by Aston/Long
