One of the most famous examples of metamorphosis in the world, the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly fascinates children and adults alike. After hatching from a tiny egg, caterpillars eat almost constantly for a week or two, until they have enough stored energy to begin their metamorphosis. Then, they hang upside down from a branch or stem, develop into a chrysalis, and shed their caterpillar skin. After a few more weeks, the adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis to begin the cycle all over again.\r<br>\r<br>Like this video if you want to see more videos about ANIMALS!\r<br>\r<br>Subscribe to FreeSchool: \r<br>\r<br>Visit us on Facebook: \r<br>\r<br>Check our our companion channel, FreeSchool Mom! \r<br>\r<br>And our NEW channel for little ones, FreeSchool Early Birds!\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Music: Jaunty Gumption, Brittle Rille - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\r<br>\r<br>Some footage courtesy of the US Fish and Wildlife Service
