The document describes the 4 life cycle stages of butterflies: 1) Eggs are tiny and round, attached to leaves. 2) Caterpillars are long and worm-like, with stripes or patches, and feed and grow. 3) During the pupa stage, metamorphosis occurs inside a cocoon. 4) Adults emerge and can reproduce, repeating the cycle. It concludes by assigning students to create and label the butterfly life cycle on a paper plate.
