The life cycle of a Monarch Butterfly

This is about the life cycle of a Monarch butterfly.  The life cycle starts as a tiny egg changes through different stages, turns inside out and becomes a butterfly.


Eggs
The life cycle begins with the butterfly attaching the eggs to the leaves of a milk weed plant. She makes sure they don’t fall off by sticking them with a gluey substance to the leaves. the eggs are tiny and round


Caterpillars   
The caterpillar hatches out of the egg. It is a very tiny worm like creature with stripes. It has little hairs all over it’s back. The caterpillar eats lots and lots to get big and fat so it can   change into a chrysalis.




Chrysalis
The Caterpillar sticks Its self upside down on a stem of a milk weed plant. Then it turns inside out changing into a chrysalis. The chrysalis is a green structure. It is where the caterpillar will transform into a Monarch butterfly.



The Butterfly
When the butterfly comes out of the chrysalis.
It starts  trying to fly and then after that they
would fly of and stick there tiny round eggs on

leaf.
