How Caterpillars turn into Colourful Butterflies Early Biology for young zoologist.

 

A Butterfly Smile, Colourful Butterfly Early Biology Picturebook“Line up class! Let’s go to the park,” Laila Miss says.

All the students hold hands,
chattering away. Kavya stands by herself.

As they start walking, Laila Miss asks, “Does anyone know what a caterpillar becomes when it grows up?”

Kavya’s stomach flips. She knows the answer!
Should she say something?

Kavya and her family have just moved
to Bengaluru from her village.

They live at the construction site where her parents work. It’s hard living in a half-finished house. The air smells of smoke, and the honking
traffic makes it hard to sleep. The towering buildings, zooming cars, and busy people make her feel very, very small.

 

Kavya has been coming to school for a week. She still hasn’t spoken to anyone.
What if they make fun of her accent? Or tease her because she’s never been to school before?
Kavya takes a deep breath and raises her hand. In a noisy city like Bengaluru, she can’t be quiet forever.

“When caterpillars grow up, they become butterflies,” Kavya says. “That’s right!” Laila Miss says.

“Caterpillars are only caterpillars for a few weeks,” Kavya says. “They spend that whole time eating leaves.”

“They must get very big,” says Mary, her classmate. “They do!”

“After they eat and eat and eat, caterpillars weave cocoons on the sides of plants. They go inside, where they grow and change,” says Kavya.

Make a Butterfly Rest Station

butterfliesButterflies in India migrate twice a year. Their journey is getting harder and harder because our forests and rivers are disappearing. Butterflies don’t have enough places to rest. Many get tired along the way.

One way to help butterflies is to make safe spaces for them to stop and have a good meal.

Here’s how to make a butterfly rest station:

 

 

Butterfly Rest Station, butterfly smile, colourful Butterfly Biology

oranges.

To attract even more butterflies, plant flowers that butterflies love.

the ground, or keep them on windowsills.
