Doubtfully, but more importantly, why does it matter. 'Knowing' implies cognitive thought which means a caterpillar would have a capacity by which it could process information, which in humans is a brain. Though a human baby is born with a brain, it is just starting to develop the concept of future so s/he is not aware of becoming an adult.
