In winter, apple trees are dormant. They have no leaves until spring arrives and leaves begin to grow on the branches. Flowers begin to grow, too, and bees buzz from flower to flower. Once a flower has been pollinated by a bee, an apple begins to grow. The apples grow bigger and bigger throughout the summer. In the fall, the apples are ripe and ready to be picked from the trees and eaten! Eventually, the trees lose their leaves, and the cycle begins again.

Monarch butterflies are the only insects to migrate to a warmer location 2500 miles away each fall, and then return to their original homes when the warmer spring weather returns. They migrate for two reasons. First, they cannot survive through the freezing weather that covers many parts of the United States in the winter, so they have to go south when cold weather begins. Also, their wintering location (usually in Mexico) does not grow the food plants that the caterpillar needs, so the spring generation of butterflies cannot stay in Mexico. They return north where the plants they need are plentiful

Butterflies have one of the most interesting life cycles of all insects. It begins when a butterfly attaches an egg to a leaf. When the egg hatches, a caterpillar emerges. Caterpillars feed and grow. As the caterpillar grows, it sheds its skin four or more times. The caterpillar eventually changes into a chrysalis, or pupa. In this transformation stage, the caterpillar tissues break down, and the adult insect’s structures are formed. Eventually, an adult butter?fly emerges. The average life span of a butterfly is one month. The butterfly mates and lays eggs, and the life cycle starts again for a new butterfly.

Aphids, insects that attach themselves to leaves and eventually kill them, pose a great danger for butterflies. Butterflies lay eggs on leaves. Therefore, if aphids are on these same leaves, the eggs will not survive. There is a solution for people who want to get rid of the aphids and protect the butterflies and plants in a way that is friendly to the environment. One solution is to release ladybugs onto the plants. Another solution is to remove any caterpillars, and then spray the plant with a mixture made of mild soap and water.
