The Lifecycle of a
Butterfly
Hi! I’m Bonnie the Butterfly. I would like to tell you
all about how I grew into a beautiful butterfly. I
haven’t always looked like this. Let’s look at some
of my baby pictures to see how I have grown!
My first baby picture!
Look at me! I’m in that little
green egg. Aren’t I cute!
All butterflies start out as eggs.
My first steps
Oh look! It’s me in my larva stage! Well, you
probably would have called me a caterpillar, but I
think larva sounds better.
I used to eat green leaves all the time. Green leaves
are the best! They help all little caterpillars grow
big and strong.
A really BIG change
Oh wow! I’m in my chrysalis…well,
you might call it a cocoon. I stayed
in there for what seemed like
forever! Well, it was more like a few
weeks, but I sure was bored.
A hard day’s work
It seemed like it took forever to get out of
my chrysalis. I still could not fly for while.
My wings were wet and I was very tired.
Here I Am!
When my wings were finally dry and I rested for a bit, I realized I
was hungry. I tested out my brand new beautiful wings to get a
bite to eat.
Now that I am a butterfly, I don’t need to eat green leaves any
more. Now I eat nectar from the blossoms of beautiful flowers.
Can you see me sticking out my long tongue to drink nectar?
Thank you for letting me share my story
today! I hope you enjoyed it and
learned a little bit about me and my
other butterfly friends.
