The butterfly is a little different.
Like his insect friends, he starts out
as an egg, which can be smooth like a
marble…
or bumpy and spiky.
Like other eggs, he grows and grows
and grows….
and when he gets big enough, he
starts eating his way out!
what comes out is not a butterfly but
a…
CATERPILLAR!
He still has
more growing
and changing
to do!
So the caterpillar eats and eats and
eats…
until…
it’s time to wrap himself in his
cocoon, or chrysalis. He is now in the
PUPA stage, where he will grow and
change.
What emerges is the beautiful
Butterfly!
