How a butterfly is formed

Would you like to know how a butterfly is formed? I will provide you with lot of information as to how theses beautiful creatures are  formed.

A butterfly starts  its life as a round,oval cylindrical egg. The shape of the egg depends on the type of a butterfly it is. The butterfly lays its eggs underneath a leaf so they don't get eaten by a predator.

The butterfly chooses a particular leaf to lay its egg on. It chooses a leaf that the caterpillar can eat so that is can form into a chrysalis. If the butterfly chooses the wrong leaf the caterpillar won't be able to eat because of the leaf that the butterfly has choosen, so the caterpillar will die because of the leaf type.

It'll take up to 10-14 days before the caterpillar hatches. When the egg hatches, the caterpillar will start  working and eat the leaf they were born on. This is really important because the mother butterfly needs to lay her eggs on the type of leaf the caterpillar will eat, each caterpillar type likes only certain types of leaves. Since they are tiny and can not travel to a new plant, the caterpillar needs to eat the leaf that it was born on so it can stay alive.

When the caterpillar eats enough leafs it will begin getting fat and fat, once it get to a stage where the caterpillar is really fat and healthy it will curl up and after a few days later it will turn into a chrysalis. After a while the caterpillar will emerge as a butterfly.

when the caterpillar changes into a butterfly the process is called metamorphosis. Before the butterfly can fly it has to pump blood into its wings because when the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis it’s wings are flat against its body.

Next it will find a mate and lay eggs and the cycle will start all over again. I trust that I have given you lots of information as to how a butterfly is formed.
