How They Grow


How does a butterfly grow? An adult butterfly lays a tiny egg on a leaf. The egg hatches and a caterpillar comes out. The caterpillar eats lots of leaves to help it grow. As it grows, it sheds its skin. The caterpillar is now ready to make a chrysalis. After two weeks, a creature pops out of the chrysalis. The caterpillar has become a butterfly! The butterfly flutters its wings and flies away.
