Butterfly Wings, Patterns and Life Cycle
Butterflies have two pairs of wings covered with tiny scales, which create the beautiful patterns, colors and markings found on their wings.
Depending on the species, some butterflies have wings that are rounded or come to a point and some have long tails. Monarch and swallowtail butterflies are easy to identify due to the distinct patterns on their wings.
The life cycle of a butterfly is made up of four distinct stages that butterflies go through before reaching their final form. Butterflies start as an egg and hatch into a caterpillar before turning into a pupa and finally emerging as an adult butterfly.
The butterfly life cycle coloring page displays this unique cycle, while the floral designs show the gardens and plants butterflies visit for food and to lay their eggs. The simple templates also allow a lot of room for adding your own patterns and colors.
