THE BUTTERFLY:
A MIRACLE OF COLOURS
Do you know that butterflies don't have wings when they are born?
That is true! The butterfly is born without wings. It needs to pass
through four phases to become the butterfly you see in the

countryside or garden. Some have a lifespan of one to two months
while some others only live for 24 hours. A butterfly emerges from the
egg as a little larva. Soon, it grows into a lovely caterpillar and thus
the second phase of the butterfly begins.
