Life cycle of a butterfly

A butterfly is a insect which goes from a egg to a caterpillar and then turns into a butterfly.

Firstly, a butterfly lays a tiny egg which are usually laid on the underside of a leaf. Then a tiny larva called a caterpillar hatches from the egg usually between 3-5 days.

Then the caterpillar eats leaves and molts (sheds the skin) many times as it grows. When it has grown enough, the caterpillar turns into a chrysalis. When it is fully grown it emerges from the chrysalis.

Thats how butterfly’s are formed.
