Butterflies fly during the night.most butterflies have knobs at the end of their antennae. They also have slender,hairless bodies whereas moths have hair on their bodies.most butterflies rest their wings held upright over their bodies🦋 A beautiful begins its life as a tiny egg, which hatches into a caterpillar.the Caterpillar spends most of their time eating and growing,but their skin does not grow,and so the  caterpillar sheds it and grows a larger one.this process is repeated several times. After the caterpillar is done growing,it forms a protective shell. That shell is called cocoon. Inside the caterpillar changes into a butterfly. The cocoon breaks when it is ready,then comes out as a beautiful butterfly. The Butterfly expands its wings and has to sit and let them dry🦋 Thank you ❤️🦋
