The Life Cycle of a Butterfly

  • Egg

    Egg
    The female butterfly attaches the egg to leaves, stems or other objects, usually leaving it near or on the intended caterpillar food. Insects need to feed their children too!

  • Caterpillar

    Caterpillar
    A caterpillar (or larva) is the long, worm-like stage of the butterfly. This stage is when the caterpillar eats and eats and eats! It also sheds its skin about 4 times to fit it's rapidly growing body.

  • Pulpa

    A caterpilar forms a cacoon, and at this stage it is called a pulpa. This is when the caterpillar tissues are broken down and the adult structures are formed.

  • Butterfly

    Butterfly
    The pulpa has know turned into a butterfly! Now it can lay eggs and start the life cycle again. Now, using Timetoast, create a timeline for the life cycle of a different animal/insect, for example, frogs, cockroaches, etc.
