2 The Life Cycle of a Butterfly Egg Caterpillar Green Chrysalis (approximately 1” long) Black Chrysalis (after approximately 10 days) Butterfly

3 Butterflies fly in the air all day When day turns to night, they rest just like you and I A butterfly starts out as a little egg and upon hatching turns into a caterpillar In order to grow, the caterpillar eats plants Caterpillars need water just like you and I. Therefore when it rains they drink the small rain drops that collect on leaves

4 A butterfly is an insect. It’s body is divided into three parts (head, thorax, and abdomen). It also has three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings. Essential Question: Can you think of another insect that we have seen in school or at home that you would like to share with the class?
