Text, Questions & Answers

The journey of a butterfly begins as a tiny egg on a leaf. This egg then hatches into a caterpillar, or larva, which eats leaves and grows quickly. When the caterpillar is fully grown, it forms a protective shell around itself called a chrysalis. Inside this, the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly in a process called metamorphosis. Once the transformation is complete, the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. It then needs to wait a few hours for its wings to dry before it can fly off. Did you know butterflies taste with their feet?
