  1. The Life Cycle of a Butterfly By Mrs. Kong

  2. There are four stages. • Egg • Caterpillar or Larva • Chrysalis or Pupa • Butterfly

  3. Egg • A female lays eggs on a leaf. • They hatch in about 5 days.

  4. Caterpillar or Larva • It grows and eats a lot of food. • Grows the most during this stage. • The caterpillar hangs upside down and attaches itself to a twig.

  5. Chrysalis or Pupa • This is called the resting stage. • The caterpillar is disguised in a case to protect itself from its enemies. • It is going through metamorphosis or changing into a butterfly.

  6. Butterfly or Adult • The butterfly breaks open the chrysalis. • When it comes out, it uncurls and pumps its wings. • It can’t eat – it drinks through its probiscus ( a long straw-like tube).

  7. Fun Facts • Butterflies use their feet to taste things! • A caterpillar has over 1,000 muscles and no bones! • When the temperature is lower than 50 degrees, a butterfly will not fly.
