It all starts when a female butterfly lays her eggs on o plant. The tiny eggs are attached with a sticky glue that is super-strong. Inside these eggs, caterpillars grow. Different species of butterflies choose different plants to lay their eggs on, as the host plants become food for the tiny
caterpillars ance they hatch.

Once the caterpillar is ready to hatch, it eats its way out of the egg, and sets about eating as much os it can. Caterpillars can eat up to eight times their body mass each day and can grow to
over 100 times their hatching size!

After a few weeks of non-stop eating, the caterpillar is fully grown. The caterpillar attaches itself to a branch or hides in leaves and forms a chrysalis (or pupo). A hard case then forms around the pupo to protect it from predators and
tough weather conditions.
Inside the pupa, an amazing change is happening.
The caterpillar is transforming into a butterfly!

Once the adult butterfly is fully formed, the case
around the pupa splits and the butterfly emerges. At first, its wings are wet and soft. When they dry out and become strong, the butterfly is ready to fly away. It con go in search of flowers to feed on, and a male butterfly to mate with, to create the
next generation of butterflies.
