Life cycle of a butterfly

In writing I have been writing about the life cycle of a butterfly I really liked doing this because I thought it was very interesting to learn about.

     Life cycle of a butterfly

The life cycle of a beautiful butterfly how it’s made and formed is a difficult process.

A butterfly comes and lays an egg on a leafs or a plant. These eggs hatch and young ones called larvae or caterpillars come out of the eggs. The caterpillars first feed on the egg shell from which it is born It then starts to feed on the leaves and starts to grow Most butterflies live up to 2 to 6 weeks.

The caterpillar sheds its skin several times so that it can grow. Once the caterpillar is big enough, it stops eating It them forms a protective layer around itself. This stage it's called chrysalis.

In this stage, the caterpillar is called pupa the pupa remains motionless in the chrysalis Inside the chrysalis, the pupa undergoes a series of changes.

After about 5 days, a beautiful adult butterfly emerges out of the caterpillar  out of its chrysalis When the butterfly comes out, its wings are small and wet. The butterfly pumps fluids into its wings to make them strong and to expand after a few hours, the wings become strong enough and the butterfly is able to fly.

The life cycle of a butterfly keeps on going.
