Moths do not turn into butterflies. Moths and butterflies are both lepidopteran insects, but the butterfly is active only during the daytime and the moth is most active at night. Butterflies are usually brightly colored and somewhat larger than moths. Although butterflies are more beautiful, moths are probably more important environmentally. There are about 15,000 different species of butterflies worldwide and about 150,000 different species of moths - ten times as many

Will caterpillars continue making a cocoon after it is bothered?

Sometimes the interrupted caterpillar will go to a different spot from it's first and continue its business. Other times it might be afraid to make one since it was interrupted the first time.
