Life Cycle
There are four fascinating stages in a butterfly's life. Who knew they went through so many changes. Let's see if you can put them in order. (egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly)
Stage 2 and 3
The caterpillars are transitioning from stages 2 to three in the life cycle of a butterfly. Who can name these stages? Use the photos below of Mrs. Moreau's caterpillars to color and talk about your observations from these stages.
