We’re diving in to all things butterflies and metamorphosis in this episode of Rosie Explores! Join Rosie Girl Veronica as she shares an overview of metamorphosis and some really amazing facts about butterflies. Did you know that they grow from the inside out? And that migrating monarch butterflies travel over 3,000 miles from Mexico to Canada?

The four stages of metamorphosis are:

  • Egg
  • Larva
  • Pupa
  • Adult

Once you’ve learned all about metamorphosis, check out a couple of fascinating videos from Kids Should See This to see it all in real time! You can watch the process of metamorphosis in detail and see the tiny butterfly wings hiding inside of caterpillars!
