Butterflies Drink too


We have discovered lots of new and interesting facts about caterpillars and butterflies.
Here are some of our discoveries. . .

Caterpillars have hooks on their feet
As caterpillars grow and get fatter, they split their skin
Butterflies drink using their proboscis like a straw
Butterflies drink nectar from flowers
Caterpillars have to eat lots of leaves so then they can turn into butterflies
Boy butterflies have 2 small dots at the bottom of their wings
Chrysalis's are delicate


Come and read our stories about caterpillars and butterflies.  We also drew some butterflies using water coloured paints and learnt about symmetry.
