What are the life stages of a butterfly?

Every living creature will go through a life cycle as they grow from infancy to adulthood. However, some animals have different life cycles than other animals.

Bring the field trip experience to your classroom with a kit that helps students understand the life cycle of a butterfly.  

Before and after your field trip to the Gardens, explore butterfly ecology with these lessons designed to meet Arizona State Science Standards for Kindergarten through 2nd grade.

Students identify life cycle stages of butterflies. Older students learn threats facing the endangered Karner blue butterfly at each stage in its life cycle.
