Caterpillars are butterflies. Think of it as tadpoles and frogs. The tadpole is a step in the life-cycle of a frog. The caterpillar is also a part of the like-cycle of a butterfly. It is just how babies grow and develop. A baby is always a baby, they just go through different steps in development, but once a baby, always a baby.
