Here is the correct answer:
Butterflies go through an amazing transformation called metamorphosis.
Stages: Egg → Caterpillar (larva) → Chrysalis (pupa) → Butterfly (adult)
Have you ever wondered how a crawling caterpillar turns into a flying butterfly? This incredible change is called metamorphosis, which means "to transform." Inside the chrysalis, something magical happens - the caterpillar's body completely dissolves and rebuilds itself into a butterfly! Scientists call this amazing process "complete metamorphosis" because the animal changes shape totally.
Every stage in a butterfly's life has an important job. The tiny egg protects the baby caterpillar as it grows inside. The caterpillar's job is to eat and grow - it can increase its weight by thousands of times! The chrysalis is like a safe house where the transformation happens. Finally, the adult butterfly's main job is to find a mate and lay eggs to start the cycle again.
Some butterflies do amazing things! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 kilometres from Canada to Mexico each winter - that's like flying from one side of Australia to the other! What's even more incredible is that the butterflies that make this journey have never been to Mexico before, but they know exactly where to go. They use the sun and magnetic fields as their compass!
Remember: A caterpillar wraps itself in a chrysalis and comes out as a beautiful butterfly — this is complete metamorphosis!
