The Common Blue Butterfly

The Common Blue Butterfly is found all over North America. Most of the time the Common Blue is found in your garden. When the army ants discover the larva, they bring it down to the queen army ant. Then they carry it to the hatchery, where it eats the ant's eggs. The ants cover the Common Blue larva and they suck honey dew from it. It crawls out of the ant hill and makes a chrysalis on a leaf. When the Common Blue comes out of the chrysalis it has to unfold its wings and wait until the sun comes out, so its wings will dry or it won't fly.
