Butterflies have been called flying flowers and equated with happiness. Word searches are another form of happiness. This butterfly word search is a great way to spread the joy and learn a little about butterflies.
The butterfly life cycle has four stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult. The egg hatches into the larva or caterpillar. The caterpillar eats and grows and uses its spinneret to make a pupa or chrysalis. The caterpillar undergoes a metamorphosis in the chrysalis and emerges as an adult butterfly. The butterfly sips nectar with its tube-shaped proboscis, mates, and lays eggs. Find these hidden terms related to the different body parts and butterfly life cycle either vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.
This word search is designed to fit on a standard 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper but can be resized to A4 if needed. For best printing results, download and print from the PDF.
