Detailed explanation-1: -There are four stages in the metamorphosis of butterflies and moths: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

Detailed explanation-2: -One day, the caterpillar stops eating, hangs upside down from a twig or leaf and spins itself a silky cocoon or molts into a shiny chrysalis. Within its protective casing, the caterpillar radically transforms its body, eventually emerging as a butterfly or moth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once the caterpillar is done eating and growing, there is a lack of the juvenile hormones, which causes the caterpillar to form a silk cocoon or shiny chrysalis around itself and begin radically transforming into a gorgeous butterfly. The cocoon is often hidden under branches, in a bunch of leaves or even underground.
