• This is a butterfly. You see butterflies
  outside in the summer, but where did the
  butterfly come from?

6

• Butterflies hatch from eggs, but they dont come
  out as butterflies

7

• They come out as caterpillars!

8

• Caterpillars eat and eat. They eat the leaves
  of plants. The caterpillar might stay on the
  same plant for its whole life.

9

• The caterpillar will grow very quickly. It will
  only stay a caterpillar for a few weeks.

10

• When the caterpillar is done eating, it makes a
  chrysalis. A chrysalis is a hard shell that the
  caterpillar will live in for several weeks.

11

• While the caterpillar is in the chrysalis, it
  doesnt eat at all. The caterpillar undergoes a
  metamorphosis. Do you know what that big word
  means?

12

• Metamorphosis means change. The caterpillar
  is changing. It is changing into a

13

• Butterfly!

14

• Now the butterfly can move to new plants. The
  butterfly has a tongue shaped like a straw. It
  uses its tongue to sip flower nectar.

15

• The butterflies can lay new eggs on a leaf.
  Caterpillars will hatch out of those eggs, and
  our butterfly story will start again.
