How does the caterpillar turn into butterfly ????

this is step by step how does the caterpillar turn into butterfly:

1. a butterfly lays eggs on a leaf 

2. the eggs hatch 

3. out comes little larvae 

4. the larvae eat and eat and eat 

5. the larvae gets a little bigger and is then called a caterpillar 

6. the caterpillar eats and eats and eats some more 

7. the caterpillar makes a pupa-- or chrysalis 

8. the caterpillar stays in there for about 2-3 weeks 

9. after that time, the adult starts to emerge (or come out of) the chrysalis 

10. since their wings are wet and weak, they have to wait a couple of hours before flying. 

11. the wings are strong enough to fly and the butterfly flitters away! 

12. then, the cycle starts all over again when the butterfly finds a mate. :) hope this helped! :)
