BUTTERFLIES

Butterflies are beautiful, flying insects with large scaly wings. Like all insects, they have six joined legs, 3 body parts , a pair of antennae, compound eyes ,and an exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax  , and abdomn . It is scientifically classified .It’s kingdom is animalia , phylum is arthropoda , class is insecta , order is Lepidoptera , and sub order is rhopalocera.

Life cycle

The first stage : The egg

A butterfly starts life as a very small , round , oval or cylindrical eggs , especially monarch butterfly monarch butterfly  eggs ,is that if you look close enough you can actually see the tiny caterpillar growing inside of it Some butterfly eggs may be round, some oval and some may be ribbed while others may have other  features. The egg shape depends on the type of butterfly that laid the egg.

The second stage: The larva

                Butterfly larvae are actually what we call caterpillars. Caterpillars do not stay in this stage for very long and mostly, in this stage all they do is eat. When the egg hatches, the caterpillar will start his work and eat the leaf they were bone onto. This is really important because the mother butterfly needs to lay her eggs on the type of leaf the caterpillar will eat-each caterpillar type likes only certain types of leaves. Since they are tiny and cannot travel to a new plant, the caterpillar needs to hatch on the kind of leaf it wants to eat.

 The third stage: pupa 

                The pupa stage is one of the coolest stages of a butterfly’s life. As soon as a caterpillar is done growing and they have reached their fully length/weight, they form themselves in to a pupa, also known as a chrysalis. From the outside of the pupa, it looks as if the caterpillar may just be resting, but the inside is where all of the action is. Inside of the pupa, the caterpillar is rapidly changing.

The fourth stage: Adult butterfly 

                Finally, when the caterpillar has done all of its forming and changing inside pupa, if you are lucky, you will get to see an adult butterfly emerge. When the butterfly first emerges from chrysalis, both of the wings are going to be soft and folded against its body. This is because the butterfly had to fit all its new parts inside of the pupa.
