All living things grow, become old and then die. All living things produce
young ones like themselves so that life on earth can continue.

Birds make nests to lay eggs. The female bird lays the eggs.

In the centre, is a yellow portion called the yolk. It contains the developing baby called
the embryo. It also contains food for the embryo. Surrounding the yolk is a white
portion called the albumen. It protects the embryo and provides water to it.

After the eggs are laid, one of the parent birds, usually the mother sits on
them to keep them warm. The baby birds start growing inside the eggs.

In Animals Frogs

A female frog lays hundreds of eggs at a time in a lake or a pond. Tadpoles

hatch out of these eggs. They swim in the water and look like fishes.

After a few weeks the tadpoles start to grow legs. Their tails become shorter and
shorter and finally disappear. After some time, they change into adult frogs.

All insects lay eggs. Many of them go through several stages before

Cockroaches pass through three stages in their life cycle. The baby cockroach that
hatches out from an egg looks like the adult except that it does not have wings.
It is called a nymph. It sheds its skin several times and changes into an adult.
Shedding of old skin is called moulting.

Grasshoppers, locusts and termites also go through these three stages.

Reproduction Life Cycle of
In Animals Butterfly

Butterflies and moths go through four stages in their life cycle before becoming
adults. The female butterfly lays eggs in clusters on the underside of a leaf.
The eggs hatch into young ones called larvae. They look like worms.
Reproduction Life Cycle of
In Animals Butterfly

The larva of a butterfly is called a caterpillar. The caterpillar eats leaves and grows
quickly. It then forms a shell called a cocoon around its body. This stage is called pupa.
Inside the pupa, the caterpillar slowly changes its shape.
An adult butterfly finally comes out of the pupa.
