Hard to believe, but the same insect can take on many different forms during tis life cycle. Take butterflies, for instance. First, they’re just tiny eggs, which hatch into caterpillars, followed by a dormant period in a cocoon or chrysalis, finally emerging as a classic fluttering butterfly.Â
Don’t expect them to stick around here much longer, though. Monarch butterflies, which we are observing as they pass through Kentucky, migrate thousands of miles south this time of year to overwinter in Mexico. You can track their progress at the Journey North Web-site by clicking HERE.
