Use the stage names and picture features to check the order; then match each word to its picture row.
1. Egg → 2. Caterpillar → 3. Chrysalis → 4. Butterfly
1: Chrysalis = 3; Butterfly = 4; Egg = 1; Caterpillar = 2 2: Caterpillar = 2; Egg = 1; Butterfly = 4; Chrysalis = 3
Chrysalis → 4; Egg → 3; Butterfly → 2; Caterpillar → 1

▸ Practice and check The four pictured stages are egg → caterpillar → chrysalis → butterfly. Compare a caterpillar’s long body with an adult’s wings before choosing a number. A chrysalis may look still, but do not describe it as an empty shell in which nothing happens. The pictures select recognizable stages rather than showing every change or the number of days each takes. After the numbered task, you can explain that adult butterflies can produce the next generation of eggs. That connects the sequence into a life cycle without pretending the numbered first picture is the only possible point for beginning a discussion. ▸ Worked example 1. Egg → 2. Caterpillar → 3.
