I must eat 2,700 times my body weight to become a butterfly
I shed my skin 5 times as I grow - like changing clothes
Only 5% of caterpillars survive to become adult butterflies
I can only eat specific plants - monarchs need milkweed, swallowtails need parsley
My "scary" spines and colors are just costume to avoid being eaten
I take 3-5 weeks to transform from egg to butterfly

The truth: I'm not a pest. I'm a butterfly in work clothes.
