Butterflies are Pretty Gross! Flashcards
We flutter through meadows.
We pose on fancy flowers.
We show off our wings.
We shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow.
So majestic!
Don’t you look lovely!
Oh, go on!
Don’t turn the page.
Close this book.
You’re done.
The story’s over.
Nothing to see here.
You kept reading.
The truth would surprise you.
Don’t read any further unless you’re ready for the real story.
This is your last chance to close this book.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because I did.
I warned you.
Here we go.
They eat rotten good.
They land on moldy fruit and slurp up the juices.
They also eat dead animals - the slimier, the better!
Mmmm, deliciously disgusting!
They’re gray or white or brown.
Some of them even look like dead leaves to help them hide from hungry birds.
It may fly towards you and make a noise with its wings.
Crack! Crack!
Pretty peculiar, right?
Oh, but there’s so much more I haven’t told you.
You can still turn back.
You can close this book.
It’s up to you.
Ok, prepare to get weirded out…
Hello, World!
They eat and grow.
Nom, nom, nom.
Under the hard shell, they grow new body parts.
Hmmm, how many legs should I make?
I’ll try six.
Soon, they burst through the shell.
Now they have wings!
Time to fly!
They hunt bugs!
This friendship stinks.
Hey, you’re not an ant!
No, I’m fraudul-ANT!
Well, now you know the truth.
You don’t have to hear any more.
Goodbye. So long. Have a nice day.
Oh, you’re still here!
Do you want to learn more.
Here comes the really strange stuff.
Can you guess which end is the front and which is the back?
It’s tricky.
Fooled you!
If they’re yummy, she lays her eggs on them.
She’s making sure that her babies have lots of food to eat once they hatch.
My feet say it’s sweet!
What if your parents stuck their feet in your cereal before you ate it?
I sure love a poopy picnic!
They snack on salt and other tasty stuff from big piles of animal dung.
They sip the water that drips from an animal’s eyes.
Tears are salty, and they need salt to stay healthy.
Well, now you know the truth.
We’re amazing.
Just like you.
