Writing The Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Do you wanna learn more about butterflies. A butterfly is a type o insect you will see around your garden or around flowers. But do you know how butterflies grows.

A butterflies starts off as a little egg. It takes about a month for a egg to become an adult. When the egg hatches,out come a lavae or what you’ll call a caterpillar.

The caterpillar consumes alot of milkweed and plants and they grow really fast. They grow so fast that they shed they skin five times before they go in their chrysalis.

The caterpillar then spins into it cacoon then into a jade color with gold markings. Then the chrysalis become more clear to see the butterfly inside. After the butterfly breaks out of it’s chrysalis it must pump up wings using fluids stored in it’s abdomen. Then it is free to fly. It takes about 2-5 weeks before the butterfly reproduces and lays it’s eggs.

And that how a butterflies life cycle begins.
