LIFE CYCLE OF A BUTTERFLY

• Butterfly lays eggs which hatch to

form larvae/caterpillar.

• The caterpillar of a butterfly feeds on

leaves and grows very fast.

• After sometime the caterpillar stops

eating and spins a protective

covering called cocoon around it.

• The pupa changes into an adult

butterfly which then comes out of the

cocoon.
