the life cycle of a butterfly

The egg

The egg is tiny like a dot. The female butterfly lays it’s eggs on a swan plant. She makes sure that the egg is attached to the leaf so it does not fall off and die.

  

The caterpillar

The caterpillar has layers on himself. When he gets fat he rips the layers off and he keeps riping his layers off. When it happens 4 times it turns into a  Chrysalis.

Chrysalis

The Caterpillar hangs on the swan plant, and turns

inside out. When it starts to hang it turns green. Then  it start to turn black or gray before it turn into a butterfly.

When the chrysalis is grey that means the butterfly is going to come out.When the butterfly comes out the wings of the butterfly are all crinkly. But then

the butterflies wings start to pump blood into its wings after it flies away.
