A butterfly is a very beautiful insect. It is a small creature. Its body is divided into three parts—head, thorax and abdomen. The three pairs of legs come out from the thorax. The most attractive part in the body of a butterfly is its wings. The body of a butterfly is a combination of different charming colours like yellow, red, blue, white, green etc. The beauty of a butterfly gives us great pleasure.
A butterfly has a strange life-cycle. The female butterfly lays eggs on leaves. These eggs are hatched and little worms called caterpillars are born. They live on green leaves. Then the caterpillars make coverings round their bodies and sleep inside them in winter. Ultimately when the warm weather comes, they come out of their covering in the form of beautiful butterflies.
