💡 Explanation:
The butterfly undergoes
complete metamorphosis, meaning it goes through four distinct stages:
1.
Egg → laid on a leaf
2.
Caterpillar → hatches from egg, eats leaves
3.
Pupa (Chrysalis) → forms a protective casing and transforms
4.
Adult Butterfly → emerges, flies, and lays eggs to start the cycle again

✔ How to Fill the Worksheet:
- Write
"1" next to the leaf with eggs → label:
Egg

"2" next to the caterpillar → label:
Caterpillar
- Write
"3" next to the chrysalis → label:
Pupa
- Write
"4" next to the butterfly → label:
Adult Butterfly
