The Life Cycle of a Monarch Butterfly

This is about the life cycle of a Monarch butterfly.  The life cycle starts as a tiny egg changes through different stages, turns inside out and becomes a butterfly.


The egg
The life-cycle begins with the female butterfly attaching the egg near to a milk weed plant.  She lays it there so when it turns into a caterpillar it has something to eat. The egg is tiny, round and has ribs. The female butterfly sticks the egg on the leaf tightly so that it doesn't fall off.


Caterpillar
When the egg hatches it would eat the milk weed plant. As the Caterpillar eats it grows bigger and bigger then the Caterpillar


The Chrysalis
The Caterpillar inside the Chrysalis is changing its body into a
Butterfly. The Chrysalis starts from the colour green, and changes to the butterflies body colour, black.




The Monarch Butterfly
The Monarch Butterfly lays little, tiny white eggs, Which is the baby caterpillar. If the monarch butterfly has 2 dots on its lower wings, It means it is a male butterfly.
