Question

life stages of the monarch
all monarch butterflies go through four stages.
first, the mother butterfly lays an egg on a milkweed
plant. then a caterpillar hatches from the egg. the
caterpillar is very hungry. it eats the egg case. then it
eats leaves from the milkweed plant. this helps it to
build up fat for energy.

the monarch also eats milkweed to protect itself.
these leaves are poisonous to most animals. they
will stay away from a butterfly that has eaten a lot
of this plant!
