A short speech on the butterfly (Classes 3 to 5)

Good morning, everyone. Today I will speak about the butterfly, one of nature's most colourful creatures.

A butterfly begins as a tiny egg, becomes a hungry caterpillar, rests as a pupa and finally comes out with beautiful wings. This amazing change is called metamorphosis. Butterflies also help flowers by carrying pollen.

Let us plant flowers and protect butterflies so our gardens stay colourful. Thank you.
