I found this really sweet sight that teaches about butterfly habitat, senses, various body parts, and has an overall quiz on butterfly facts. I would definitely encourage you to use this resource. It was challenging for me, but also very educational.

The following website has a build-your-own butterfly game that would be very appropriate for elementary school level. It includes facts about a wide variety of butterflies, and also includes a writing activity that the student will complete in regards to the butterfly he or she created.

This next game is designed for kindergartners, and simply teaches the four stages of a butterfly's life cycle. It is pretty simple, but the student would need to be taught how to say words such as chrysalis and caterpillar.

Another excellent website to show the life cycle of the butterfly is found below. It is more visually based then word based, and also helps encourage thinking chronologically.

There are so many resources out there to help teach and supplement lessons about butterflies in a fun yet educational way.
Another update on Heraldo: Still in the chrysalis stage and will probably be in there for about another week.
