Butterflies

By: Serena Xiao

A mother lays eggs

Out pops a caterpillar

She’s ready for life

She chews on oak leaves

And yummy fruits and veggies

She soon becomes fat

She forms a cocoon

By spinning silk around her

She works for ten days

She makes her body

Comprised of her abdomen,

thorax, and six legs

She shaped her new wings

They are large and colorful

At last, she comes out

She’s a butterfly!

Then she starts laying her eggs

She waits for four days

Soon, they wiggle out

They’ll face metamorphosis

Just like their mother
