slowly and softly the butterfly laid its eggs on the downside of the leaf and gracefully flew away. as the egg started to wobble a tiny caterpillar appeared and started to munch away at its nutritious shell. Did you know that when a caterpillar is first born it would be only 2 millimeters long, and also that there egg is a size of a sesame seed?
the next step is when the little caterpillar slowly starts to devour a leaf of the swan plant, the caterpillar may be small but man can it eat. After eating all that food the caterpillar starts to shed to get a better sized coat.
after a couple of weeks or even days the caterpillar will form into a chrysalis and starts to metamorphosis into a butterfly.
After about 2 weeks the form should be fully complete and you should c the chrysalis start to crack. And as the butterfly slowly busts out of the shell it ` patiently waits under the leaf. The butterfly does this to get blood pumping through the wings to start it new life flying.
