butterflies in the farm kindergarten - research for children

Experience metamorphosis: from caterpillar to butterfly

The caterpillars moved in with us at the beginning of July! Together with the children, the stage of development is observed and documented with the help of the “butterfly clock”. The caterpillars, which are completely different in shape from the moths, also feed quite differently. Usually the eggshell is eaten first after hatching. Subsequently, the caterpillars of most butterfly species eat leaves, needles, flowers, seeds, or fruits of various plants, with many species being specialized and dependent on specific plants…….
