Starchild: Malaysian children love beautiful butterflies


Sanddya Tham Min Huey, 7



Can you spot any butterflies or moths in your garden? Butterflies are one of the most graceful insects. Their thin delicate wings are covered with tiny scales which give them their beautiful colours.

Butterflies undergo a process called metamorphosis. In this biological process, eggs develop into caterpillars. Next, caterpillars transform into a chrysalis (pupa) before the final stage of growth which is when the pupa turns into a brightly coloured butterfly.
