It's a Butterfly's Life

An amazing amount of information flits on these pages just as the butterflies and moths do. The colorful and accurate illustrations depict a wide array of different butterflies and moths, their caterpillars, eggs, and even the chrysalis of some. The book discusses what and how butterflies eat and behave; their life cycle, mating, and metamorphosis; their anatomy; the predators that prey on them; and how they camouflage themselves as protection. Interesting information that will really capture some students is a practice that butterflies engage in called puddling and the correct name for caterpillar droppings. The book concludes with examples of plants that butterflies like to visit and a few amazing facts.
