The Butterfly

O’er grassy meadows Beneath the clear blue sky

Through dazzling rays of sunlight Drifts the lovely butterfly

She sways her wispy body

As gentle as a breeze Jovial in her freedom flight With pure and simple ease

Once a fuzzy creature Without beauty and grace

She flies in songlike elegance In all of time and space

Adult Butterfly When the caterpillar has done all of its forming and changing inside the pupa, if you are lucky, you will get to see an adult butterfly emerge. When the butterfly first emerges from the chrysalis, both of the wings are going to be soft and folded against its body. This is because the butterfly had to fit all its new parts inside of the pupa. As soon as the butterfly has rested after coming out of the chrysalis, it will pump blood into the wings in order to get them working and flapping – then they get to fly. Usually within a three or four-hour period, the butterfly will master flying and will search for a mate in order to reproduce. When in the fourth and final stage of their lives, adult butterflies are constantly on the look out to reproduce and when a female lays their eggs on some leaves, the butterfly life cycle will start all over.
