Which minibeast are we studying in class next week?
Can you guess from these clues?
- This minibeast starts life as hairy, smooth or spiky. It is often brightly coloured or camouflaged to scare off or trick predators!
- This minibeast changes completely during its lifecycle. This change is called metamorphosis.
- There are almost 20,000 different types of this minibeast.
- Once grown, this minibeast sucks up its food through a curly tube called a proboscis.
- We will be looking closely at the ‘Painted Lady’ variety of this minibeast.
- Here’s a close up of this minibeast at an early stage of its life cycle, do you recognise it?!
Post a reply to tell me what minibeast you think it will be!
We think it is a butterfly!
Caterpillars and butterflies
We think it’s a butterfly – member of the Cynthia group of colourful butterflies.

It must be a beautiful butterfly! (I wonder if it was a Very Hungry Caterpillar).
