Chrysalis

The hardened, protective shell a butterfly lives in while it transforms from a caterpillar to its beautiful winged form. It's like a secret, hopeful room!

Did You Know?

• California Sister caterpillars use camouflage! They mimic bird droppings to avoid being eaten. Isn't nature clever?
• These butterflies don't just drink nectar from flowers; they also enjoy sap, rotting fruit, and even animal droppings.
• Butterflies taste with their feet! Sensors on their feet help them find the perfect flower to lay their eggs on.
