They usually fold vertically over their back when at rest. Appendages: Six jointed legs and two antennae, which are club-tipped. Mouthparts: A coiled tube called a proboscis is used to sip nectar, and they can taste with their feet. Senses: Compound eyes, and they can also sense smells and have taste receptors on their feet. Life cycle Egg: Begins as an egg laid on a plant. Larva: Hatches into a larva, known as a caterpillar, which eats and grows. Pupa: The caterpillar forms a chrysalis (pupa) where it undergoes metamorphosis. Adult: The adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis, dries its wings, and flies off to mate and lay eggs, starting the cycle again.

A paragraph is a distinct section of writing, typically consisting of several sentences, that focuses on a single idea or topic. It is organized with a topic sentence, supporting sentences that provide details, and a concluding sentence. Paragraphs structure written work, making it easier for the reader to follow the author's thoughts by dividing a longer text into smaller, manageable, and logical units.
