Butterflies


We are writing about butterflies. Butterflies have three body parts, head, abdomen and thorax. They have six legs and two wings. They have two antennae for feeling, hearing and smelling. They have a long curly tongue to suck the nectar out of the flower. Wings can be a lot of colors. Butterflies lay a lot of eggs. The egg hatches into a caterpillar. It grows into a pupa and then into a chrysalis. Then it grows into a butterfly. After hatching out of a chrysalis they have to let their wings dry. They like to live where it is warm. This is what I have learned about butterflies.
