Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet? Or that they only live for about two weeks after they become adults? The life cycle of a butterfly is full of interesting facts and moments.
First, the female lays her eggs on plants or leaves. These eggs hatch into caterpillars, who eat and grow until they form a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar transforms into its adult form. As an adult, the butterfly feeds on nectar from flowers using its long proboscis, mates, and then the cycle begins again with egg laying.
Butterflies come in a stunning array of colors and patterns, thanks to special cells called chromatophores that reflect light to create vibrant hues. When it’s time to hibernate or migrate for colder months, some species will gather in large groups called “roosts.”
