I’m always reminded of how much we are like butterflies from every stage of our lives from birth to adulthood. It is only through this exertion that we emerge into the beautiful butterfly we will be next. We all transform through multiple stages in life. The lesson of the butterfly is letting go of the past and move forward into a next phase of existence to experience something new & wonderful. Soon, they are in flight, soaring freely with their new freedom. The butterfly works at pumping blood into the wings to make them flap. It fights its way out of the chrysalis and slowly unfolds its delicate wings. Everything, including the limbs, organs, and tissue of the caterpillar, are all transforming.īUTTERFLY: At the end of the metamorphosis, the butterfly is ready to emerge. The real metamorphosis is taking place at this time. The caterpillar forms itself into a chrysalis. Their skin will shed as they grow to accommodate their rapid growth.ĬHRYSALIS (Pupa): After the caterpillar eats and eats and eats, it is ready for the transformation to begin. The eggs are laid by the mother on a very specific leaf so that when they are hatched, they will be able to be nourished by the leaf in order to grow.ĬATERPILLER: When the caterpillar hatches out of the egg, it immediately begins to eat the leaf it is on.
