Life Cycle of a Butterfly

I read about the life cycle of the butterfly.  An important vocabulary word in my book is thorax.  It is the part of the body that holds the wings.

A butterfly’s compound eyes see colors and patterns on flowers that our eyes cannot see.  Monarch butterflies can lay their eggs under a leaf or on top of the leaf.  A caterpillar breathes through tiny holes along its body called spiracles.

  1. I really like what you said about butterflies, it gives good information. I didn’t know that butterflies can see patterns that we can’t.

  2. Hello,
    Thanks for the wonderful information about butterflies. They are amazing. I had no idea that they had compound eyes that can see colors and patterns that we can’t see. I wonder how that helps them? Spirales is such a cool word. Imagine breathing through holes in your sides.
    What is your favorite type of butterfly?
