You see an insect with colorful wings resting on a flower
2
Is it a butterfly or a moth?

If you see it during the day, It is probably a butterfly

Most moths fly only at night

A butterfly’s body is thin and smooth
4
A moth’s body is thick and furry

Butterflies hold their wings straight up
5
Moths spread their wings out flat
![Page 6: Invertebrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813d55550346895da71473/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
But butterflies and moths are alike in two (2) ways
6
Both have wings covered with colorful scales
![Page 7: Invertebrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813d55550346895da71473/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Both have long, rolled-up tongues
7
They use their tongues to drink nectar from flowers
![Page 8: Invertebrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813d55550346895da71473/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
As they feed, they carry pollen from one flower to another
8
This helps seeds and fruit to grow

Female moths and butterflies lay eggs on leaves or stems
9
The eggs hatch into caterpillars

Vocabulary:
caterpillars
The wormlike stage of a butterfly or moth
![Page 11: Invertebrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813d55550346895da71473/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The caterpillars most important job is to eat
11
Caterpillars feed mostly on leaves
![Page 12: Invertebrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813d55550346895da71473/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In fact, a tree may die if caterpillars eat many of its leaves

Caterpillars that become moths change inside a cocoon of silk
13
Vocabulary:
cocoon
The silk covering that some caterpillars make before becoming
a moth
![Page 14: Invertebrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813d55550346895da71473/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The silkworm moth makes its cocoon from one silk thread that is
1,000 yards long
14
People use this thread to make silk cloth
![Page 15: Invertebrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813d55550346895da71473/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Most caterpillars that become butterflies do not make a cocoon
15
Instead the skin becomes a hard case
![Page 16: Invertebrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813d55550346895da71473/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The caterpillar becomes a pupa
16
Vocabulary:
pupa
A stage in the life of a caterpillar when the skin gets hard

Inside the pupa, wings grow
17
Soon an adult butterfly comes out
