Butterflies are a good way to teach pupils about life cycles - the children see them in their environment, and they can easily lead to scientific research and learning.

Stimulate the asking of questions:

Do the colors of caterpillars indicate the colors of the adult butterfly?

Are all caterpillars the same size? Do they shed their skins? Which other creatures do we know of that shed their skins?

Can we tell by the leaf we find eggs on which kind of butterfly laid them?
