Chelsea has been exploring the life cycle of the Butterfly at home!
Stage 1: The butterfly will lay her eggs onto a leaf. These can be round, oval or cylindrical.
Stage 2: The caterpillar hatches and works on eating the plants so it can grow.
Stage 3: The Caterpillar undergoes a process called metamorphosis, inside it’s chrysalis, where it is rapidly changing!!
Stage 4: The fully formed butterfly emerges, drying off it’s wings. Whilst we waited for each of the butterflies to emerge, we fed them fresh orange.
Stage 5: We set them free!!
