Butterfly lifecycle.  A butterfly grows up!

1.  Bailey the Butterfly lays a small egg on a healthy leaf.

2.  Two weeks later a caterpillar hatches from the egg.  It eats leaves.

 

 

3.  As the caterpillar eats, it grows!

4.  The caterpillar climbed a branch, hung upside-down and made a safe place to rest.  It is now called a pupa.  You can't see inside, but it is growing wings! 

5.  When it is ready, the butterfly climbs out of the safe place and flies to a flower for a drink of sweet nectar!  What is the new butterfly's name?
