Perennials Friends and Foes Butterflies Presented by: Nancy MicKey & Ed Kiley 4 different “Create A Garden” Brochures Butterflies Caterpillars go through many changes in their lives. There are 4 stages that the caterpillar goes through. The names of the stages are the egg, the caterpillar, the chrysalis, and the butterfly. The first stage is the egg stage. The caterpillar starts it’s life as an egg. The eggs are laid on a leaf which will later serve as food for the caterpillar. Caterpillar eggs are many different colors and shapes. The second stage is a caterpillar. Caterpillars are in this stage for 2 weeks to 1 month. During this stage caterpillars eat constantly and grow very quickly. Caterpillars eat leaves off of flowering plants and trees. The third stage is the chrysalis stage. The chrysalis stage lasts anywhere from a few days to many months. The caterpillar doesn’t eat during this stage. During this time the caterpillar goes through changes called metamorphosis. The final stage is the butterfly. When the caterpillar emerges from the chrysalis, it is an adult butterfly. Butterflies can only eat liquids through their straw-like mouth called a proboscis. Some butterflies live for a few days while others live for a few months. What Kind of Butterflies Live in Our Area?
