* Butterflies are insects.
* A butterfly’s lifecycle is made up of four parts, egg, larva (caterpillars), pupa and adult.
* Butterflies attach their eggs to leaves with a special glue.
* Most caterpillars are plant eaters (herbivores).
* Fully grown caterpillars attach themselves to a suitable twig or leaf before shedding their outside layer of skin to reveal a hard skin underneath known as a chrysalis.
* Butterflies can live in the adult stage from anywhere between a week and a year, depending on the species.
* Butterflies have four wings.
* Most butterflies feed on nectar from flowers.
* Butterflies often have brightly coloured wings with unique patterns made up of tiny scales.
