CONTENTS

BUTTERFLIES UP CLOSE

(CONTINUED)

WELCOME, JUNIOR SCIENTIST!

Have you ever watched butterflies and wanted to know more about them? Perhaps

youve wondered if they sleep at night. Why do some butterflies have colorful

wings but others look plainer? And how exactly do chubby caterpillars transform

into beautiful, graceful butterflies? If you have thought about these things, you are

a junior scientist!

In this book, you will learn about these fascinating insects. You will discover

how caterpillars grow, what happens inside a chrysalis, and how butterflies find

mates. You will explore unusual butterfly behaviors like basking and puddling.

Finally, you will get up close and personal with some of the most amazing butterfly

species you may see in your own backyard.

Do you have a butterfly growing kit? Great! This book will also show you what to

look for as your caterpillars grow and turn into butterflies.

wings, butterflies are well loved.

Did you know there are more than

evolved

over

millions of year to live in many

environments. But you dont have

to travel far to find butterflies; you

can easily find them in parks, forests,

and even your own backyard!

Depending on where you live in

North America, you can probably

find 100 or more species near your

home. Grab a notebook and pencil

and ask if you can go outside. If

you find a butterfly, take notes and

sketch it in your book. Someday you

might even be a

lepidopterist

, or

butterfly scientist!

The Arctic butterfly can survive

in freezing temperatures.

with no bones and a

tough outer shell called an exoskele-
