Do you know the name of this insect?
That’s right! It is a butterfly.
A butterfly goes through something
called “metamorphosis.”
Metamorphosis is another word for
“change.”
This change happens during a butterfly’s
life cycle.
There are FOUR stages of a butterfly’s
life cycle.
STAGE ONE: egg
A female butterfly lays eggs on a leaf.
STAGE TWO: caterpillar
Caterpillars hatch from the egg. They are
hungry and eat many leaves!
STAGE THREE: chrysalis
A caterpillar makes a chrysalis out of silk and
goes inside of it.
STAGE FOUR: butterfly
A butterfly comes out of the chrysalis!
After the butterfly leaves the chrysalis, it lays
new eggs!
This means…new butterflies!!
