Life of a Butterfly

-Laxmi Kanwar

Stage 1: The Egg

A new life comes into existence.

Stage 2: Caterpillar

The young caterpillar feeds on the leaf it’s on.

When caterpillar starts eating, it grows and expands instantly.

Their skin doesn’t stretch, so they grow by molting.

Stage 3: Pupa (Chrysalis)

As soon the caterpillar is fully grown, it turns into a pupa.

From outside, it looks as if the caterpillar is resting but the life inside changes rapidly.

The pupa is protected inside a silk cocoon.
