LIFE CYCLE OF BUTTERFLIES
DID YOU KNOW?
When the egg hatches, the caterpillar will start his work and eat the leaf they were born onto. 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 hatch on the kind of leaf it wants to eat.
They grow by “molting” (changing the skin) in just two weeks five times.

What a fabulous thing to have in your classroom! I wonder what your caterpillars are doing now?
We were talking about life cycles today in our class, too. One of the children had collected some frogspawn at the weekend. Do you know what this is? It will turn into tadpoles, and eventually the tadpoles will turn into frogs. It's amazing, isn't it?
