Does a butterfly molt as it grows?

No; adult insects don't grow (or molt, therefore :P). All the growing is done as a caterpillar, which specialises in eating, eating and eating and growing fatter every day. Then it pupates and the energy it took in is used to fly around, locate a mate, and reproduce.
