The pupa is the chrysalis, the immobile hanging thing in which the larva (caterpillar) changes into the winged adult (butterfly). ^^ All metamorphing insects do the same, including for example flies (egg, maggot, pupa, fly) and bees (egg, larva, pupa, adult, but in the hive so you don't see!).

What do larva turn into?

Metamorphosis is the series of developmental stages insects go through to become adults. Butterflies and moths have four stages of life: egg, larva (the caterpillar stage), pupa (the chrysalis phase), and adult. When it is ready, the caterpillar will find a suitable place and attach itself to a leaf with a sticky substance. This substance hardens to become the chrysalis (similar to a cocoon). The caterpillar sheds its exoskeleton for the last time. After 1-2 weeks, a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
