The Life Cycle of a Monarch Butterfly

Here is my report about a Monarch butterfly.


The Egg:
The life cycle begins with the female butterfly attaching the egg near to a milk weed plant. The female butterfly lays her eggs next to the milk weed so when it turns into a caterpillar it has something to eat.

The Caterpillar:
When the egg  has grown  into a caterpilla. The caterpillar eats and eats untill it is very fat. Then it think’s  that he’s finish eating then he turns into a crysalis or larva.


The Chrysalis:
The caterpillar turns inside out and it hangs from a swan plant and it pushes it’s old skin off. Another name for a chrysalis is called pupa the crysalis has species. Did you know that the chrysalis can blend into the background.



The Monarch Butterfly:
When the chrysalis has been open the butterfly comes out with beautiful colours like orange, black. When a male butterfly comes it has two little black dots if you see black dots that is a male butterfly and then one with no dots that is a female butterfly.
