The video explains the transformation of a chrysalis into a butterfly. Initially, the chrysalis is greenish-white but quickly changes color to blend with its surroundings, providing camouflage. After about two weeks, the chrysalis opens, and a butterfly emerges. The butterfly's wings fill with blood, air, and a liquid that hardens to give them strength.
