Butterfly lifecycle.  A butterfly grows up!

1.  A mother butterfly lays one small egg on a leaf.

2.  A small caterpillar hatches from the egg and eats a leaf!   

 

3.  The caterpillar eats healthy leaves and grows.

4.  When the caterpillar is ready to change into a butterfly, it makes a safe place to rest and change.  It is now a pupa.  When it is ready, it will climb out as a butterfly.

5.  The butterfly is fully grown now.  It flies to a pretty flower for a sweet drink of flower nectar.
