What is the life cycle of a butterfly?
assistant
1. A butterfly starts its life cycle as an egg, laid by a female butterfly on a plant.
2. When the egg hatches, a caterpillar emerges.
3. Eventually, the caterpillar spins a silky cocoon or chrysalis around itself and the process of metamorphosis begins.
4. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly.
5. When the butterfly is ready, it will emerge from the chrysalis, fully formed and ready to start the cycle again.
