Butterfly Life cycle.

Stage 1 -  Egg. Stuck carefully onto the underside of a leaf.
Stage 2 -  It hatches slowly and outcomes a caterpillar the size of a sesame seed.



Para 2
Stage 3 -   It start eating and eating a lot of leaves.
Stage 4 -  Soon it starts to grow bigger and bigger and sheds it’s skin. It keep on going until it gets to the right size which is between 3 to 4 centimeters.  

Para 3
Stage 5 -   It then goes hangs upside down a twig and holds on with it’s silk and the chrysalis starts growing over it. It takes a week to fully cover the caterpillar.
Stage 6 -  Then it starts making a hole through the chrysalis and outcomes a beautiful butterfly. It still hangs on the branch until the blood goes down into the wings to give it strength. Then after a week it is ready to fly It spreads it wings and flies away ready to repeat the life cycle all over again !
